VS Color Scheme

Vic pointed me to a color scheme that you can just import into Visual Studio:

I really like it … having a dark background with light text is a good color scheme if you tend to work in low light. I used to do it more often and it caused a lot less eye strain.

If you end up importing it, just make sure you bring the font-size a bit down, I don’t know if the person who made that color scheme had a tiny monitor or what :-P

.NET Source Code to be Released

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/10/03/releasing-the-source-code-for-the-net-framework-libraries.aspx

Wow. While this is awesome and all, I wonder how many hours of productivity will be lost, collectively speaking. Think about it, some winforms control starts acting funny … not doing what you expect. I guarantee that tons of people are going to be debugging into the .NET framework libs to see if the bug is in there. And I can almost certainly guarantee that Microsoft’s code is less buggy than yours ;-)

This is definitely an interesting move, but probably not as exciting as most people think it is … because really, any time you spend stepping through their code, is time wasted.
