The "mapping" classes are all generated in the same cs file. Very unfriendly for source control.

The action in this trilogy takes place between the Drizzt and the War of the spider queen novels and the heroine is Liriel Baenre.
The first 2 books are pretty good but the third one is pretty far off ( both as writing style and as a continuation for the storyline). If you're interested in drows than it's worth reading...

It looks like finallllly this feature has been enabled in .NET 3.5 SP1. I remember a few years ago (when .NET 1.1 was all the rage) that i really needed this feature. I was working on a Window app and we had a closed beta (around 20 testers) and it was a PITA to push the updates (basically uninstall and then reinstall everything).
I guess better late than never.

You really don't appreciate how much csc (the C# compiler) is getting over his head to provide meaningful error messages until you try something like Erlang.
Yeah...i'm reading Programing Erlang.

Just moved the site from a Linux box to a Windows 2003 machine (also the blog, which was a pain to move because the old version of b2evolution i was using didn't have BlogML export). Now the site is running on a beta version of our own Allegretto CMS and the blog on BlogEngine.NET

Looks like Java 7 will get
language level xml support. Seriously, the last thing that Java needs is MORE xml.

I just gave up on Picasa (the photo management app not the photo hosting). 2 big complaints :
- unreliable camera image import. Plugged the camera with the 1 GB SD card (around 1600 pictures) and selected to wipe the images after import. 20 minutes later into the import process, the darn thing crashes, i get no images on the hdd and about 200 images are missing from the SD card. Great, huh ? Eventually i managed to recover the images (undelete). If you find yourself into this situation.....try to see if there is a hidden Temp folder in the import path (you might find a part of the images there).
- slow. Again the import is very very slow and it has a crappy UI. It shows thumbs for each image imported in to a fixed space (no scrolling). Image what happens when you import 1000 images. It starts to resize the thumbs over and over again. And again...
Since i'm on Vista i've switched to Windows Photo Gallery (at least it has a decent importer compared cu Picasa).
