Tarantino is in some kind of a race to end his already limping career.  What, does he think "Kill Bill" is "The Matrix" or "Lord of the Rings?"  I seriously doubt people are going to pay twice to see "Nearly Killed Bill" then "Finally Killed Bill"...we hate To be continued...on a Brady Bunch episode, how are we going to put up with it for a movie?  This is the kind of thing that made Back to the Future II and III suck so egregiously.

Once again, with the ruthless competence we've come to expect from Harry "DevHawk" Pierson, comes a very useful VS.NET macro.  It toggles your Font Sizes back and forth from (in the example) Courier New 10pt to the gloriously readable Lucida Console 18pt.  Get it, use it, make it so.  Thanks Harry!

It has been said before, but I shall rephrase:  If your presentation uses a projector, make sure the images you project are readable.  The time for "can you see this?" is NOT during your presentation.  If you do nothing else before a presentation go into Notepad, VS.NET and the Command Prompt and change your fonts. (You may be a great engineer, but you have it admit it's embarassing to hunt around in Tools|Options, like you've never been there before, and have the audience direct you to the right setting.)

Steve Maine emailed to let me know that my blog has a successful GoogleWhack!  Apparently having Google return exactly one result with a given string of just two words is quite unusual.  When you search Google for "XSD.exe xs:import" you get me!

Of course, now that I've blogged about my Whack, it will soon be gone...but I'll know inside...

UPDATE: Regarding that weird Memory Allocation bug I mentioned earlier.  Turns out it IS a new bug in .NET 1.1 (it doesn't exist in 1.0) and it has already been QFE'd and will be rolled into a SP very soon.  It's a pretty icky one...watch for it!
