@JimmyHoffa @JimmyHoffa Well I spent a little bit in StudioStyl.es and tried to create a style based on the very limited set of colors found in the image from the Source Code Pro blog post, it's here if anybody want's to check it out studiostyl.es/schemes/source-code-pro

@RobertHarvey yeah.. there's a few that are similar but not quite it.. it's also similar to Solarized (ethanschoonover.com/solarized) I just the other one more pleasing

Anybody know if there's a studiostyl.es/schemes style / name for this color scheme? blogs.adobe.com/typblography/files/2012/09/SourceCodeSplash.png it's a really nice dark theme

does anybody happens to know what building # is the Windows Live team located on, in the microsoft campus?

Hi all

I'm off to bed, it was really nice chatting with you :) hope to catch you later again

its a little bit late now

well guys

@chris thanks for the reminder! boxing just now!

but that is in a way a good thing

the guy sounds like a pretty strict teacher :P

gonna be busy the next few weekends

yup

Well Dan, I went and got myself the eBook

but I've also realized that web apps are the future, and I started investing in that (asp.net mvc)

I used to love desk dev and wasnt really interested in web (thus my lack of html/css skills(

I agree on Dan on that

I think the main problem is that when you are working with the basic STD libraries and stuff like that its easy to remember stuff, but when you start to use more and more and more libraries, I find it almost impossible to remember the names/params of all those methods/classnames and Intellisense is a great way to explore objects/apis

yeah.. Kate is just a colored notepad...

but yeah, im going to check out that book

and from then on I sort of became 100% MS dev...

and then they tried to teach us java and I didnt like it and then I saw C# and really really like it (mainly due to the IDE and to the fact that there was already a class to read and write to console xD)

its funny I used to remember I used to think how old "Turbo C++" was a lot better than Dev-C++ back back at the start of Uni, and I actually used ubuntu in my lap for a while (my vista got too slow...but then my ubuntu got too slow too and I just reformated to vista again) and I actually used Kate+GCC to create a pretty cool final project....

:( 20-32 day shipping costs 50% of the book, 8-16 days costs as much as the book and 2-6 days costs 150% of the cost of the book... I miss when I was in the states and shipping would take a couple of days and costs less than 5 dollars :(

After looking at your portfolio I do respect you Dan, tons of finished products! So, what languages/projects do you thing are worth looking at/ learning for someone that has been in the MS-sphere for the last 4-5 years?

(and by the way.. thanks for the link! I now have like ten more tabs open with articles that need to be read hahaha)

I'm from Mexico so no worries about that ;) but yeah.. sometimes I feel like learning new stuff, but man I've grown so used to the great IDE tools (intellisense!) that it feels like a chore to do stuff in notepad-esque/command promp IDEs :/

and I use mostly .net techs (try lots of beta/ctp.. but mostly MS's)

but I guess not that new... I wait till there is a .net wrapper or something.. perhaps I am too comfortable with .net/ c#

and I am the kind of guy that really likes to try out new things

in a way its so overwhelming to keep up with so many new things

true

hehe that last remark reminded me of this shirt

@DanGrossman isnt SO the fornt support channel for programming?

but mostly backend... html/css... not my thing (though i'd like it to be)

Yes if you count MVC

nah, to young to use IRC haha I think i've never actually used it.. but I still hear people (on the internet) talking about it :P

yeah the chat is pretty cool...although to be honest I think I hadn't use chat rooms and actually chat with people for over 10 years, when the whole chat rooms thing boomed (well at least in mexico it was about 10-15 years ago, with "LatinChat") :P

@Chris well Bugzilla is a seperate download and you cant deny it is pure joy :)

actually is there any good tutorials to do that? Teaching html/css for programmers who have been always developing desk/backend apps?

@Chris wow once again, its the same with me.. I suck at CSS and making plain html turn into columns, boxes, etc :(

and @DanGrossman thanks for the MaxMind's free ip tip, you just saved me an SO question I was about to do :)

Ha got a little WTF because of the IP too, but not too scared.. its not my IP.. the ISP's one

@Dan No, accidental deletes are stiff cold fingers+touchpad :P

:(

@RakshitPai... I still have a few months of waiting left..

@JoelSpolsky but I did feel a very tiny greef for losing my clever writting haha (hey I put an effort in this, its not my native language! haha)

hahaha

@Chris... haha yeah but having a delete that doesnt ask for confirmation or offers an undo right next to an edit button........
