Google isn’t perfect either!
Wed, Oct 21 2009 9:48

A few days ago, I’ve mentioned that bing isn’t working property. Interestingly, I’ve just noticed that if you run a search for ‘search’ in Google Portugal, you’ll get a reference for bing . Isn’t that ironic? Read More...

On the BLOCKED SCRIPTSys entry…
Sat, Oct 17 2009 15:10

Unfortunately, it seems like CS is escaping my JavaScript code. Whenever you see BLOCKED SCRIPTSys, it should be javascript :Sys (without any space). Sorry for that, but I believe there’s nothing I can do about it now… Read More...

Jon Skeet is no longer an MVP
Sat, Oct 3 2009 14:46

This is probably one of the biggest disappointments of the last MVP cycle. Known C# guru and author Jon Skeet is no longer an MVP because his employer (google) didn’t give him the OK for his renewal . Fortunately for us, he still can work with C# in his 20% time and will be blogging and working with C# in the near future. I’m not anti-google in any way (in fact... Read More...

Stop copying blank lines in VS
Fri, Sep 25 2009 13:29

One of the things I end up doing sometimes in Visual Studio is copying blank lines. It’s not that I want to copy a blank line…it’s simply that I get interrupted while using ctrl+c/ctrl+v and end up messing things when I return to the desk. Since I’ve just ended up copying another blank line, I’ve lost a few seconds and opened the options window to see if I could... Read More...

Quinta Jardim da Serra weekend
Mon, Aug 31 2009 11:29

I’ve just returned from a really nice weekend on this lovely hotel . Bar services could be a little better and it’s not the easiest place to find, but the hotel is just great! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a nice place to say and relax for a couple of days. Here are some pics I’ve taken during my stay there. And now, it’s time to go back to vacations...

Getting ready for ASP.NET 4.0
Fri, Aug 14 2009 15:32

This is a post for my Portuguese readers, so you might not want to waste your time with it if you can’t read portuguese:) We’ve already got ASP.NET 4.0 beta 1 and I’ve (finally!) started looking at it. I’ve already read the white paper and I’ll be starting to write code on it real soon. As you probably know, I’ve written a couple of books on ASP.NET in the past... Read More...
