PDC is increasingly taking up my time, so I've got LA on the brain. Having lived in LA for 39 years before joining the firm, I use PDC as an opportunity to visit my favorite haunts. My first stop will be Tito's Tacos . Every time I go to LA (PDC...

Ms. Foley has a call out for Microsoft codenames over at ZDNet . I first read this on my phone and was busy coming up with names I thought would be interesting project names. Unfortunately when I got home and read the blog, it was clear she was looking...

For the first time ever, I took a completely spontaneous vacation by booking a flight Wednesday to head out to Martha's Vineyard to hang out with my wife & kids (and Sara Spalding's husband and kid). I really like Martha's Vineyard - I...

http://port25.technet.com/archive/2008/07/25/oscon2008.aspx This is great news in so many ways. (Ed Note: Thanks to those who've pointed out that sponsorship and membership are distinct - the title is now correct.)

I've been working on "Oslo" for quite a while now. Like "Oslo" itself, several of the major pieces of "Oslo" have placeholder code names that will be replaced with the actual names we'll brand the product with. This...

This year's PDC will be my eighth as a speaker and my third as an MSFT employee. The last two PDCs were more or less the same in terms of my involvement. This year, I'm also helping out on selecting roughly one-fourth of the talks being given...

Mary Jo has nice coverage of David Chappell's Oslo talk at TechEd this week. Also nice was BillG talking about the project in his farewell address as an FTE. I'd love to hear from folks who saw the Chappell talk - I had to miss it when he was in Redmond...

I'm in a PDC planning meeting with the VS folks. I just heard the mantra around the Visual C++ team is that “10 is the new 6.” msdev.exe was one of my favorite executables of all time. Wahoo!

Congrats to the folks from Building 35 for getting the first CTP of Velocity out the door. Here's a nice page on getting started with velocity .

Congrats to Shanku's team for shipping the first CTP of MEF . We're using MEF daily and it's quite a useful bit of code.

I've been spending a lot of time with XML again lately. Since my last stint with XML, I know we shipped native XML suppport in VB9. I also know that there are E4X implementations out in the wild. What I'd love to know is how either of these are working...

It's PDC season again. The site went live this week - http://microsoftpdc.com/ It will be good to put bits in people's hands (or in our datacenters :-)).

I talked to Neal Ford a week or two ago and he mentioned that Martin Fowler is working on a DSL book. Just found the site here . Pretty skeletal so far, but I think the underlying ideas are pretty spot on. Can't wait to see the final manuscript!

Via Stefan Tilkov : http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/04/xemacs-is-dead-long-live-xemacs.html I've got no opinion on the GNU-vs-XEmacs analysis. I never used XEmacs for more than a day. I stopped using GNU Emacs in November 2003. I'm sure both version...
