What is particularly nice is that this cross platform Mono based application is being built in a very agile...

  • For those hard to mock moments - Microsoft Fakes or Typemock Isolator?

    About a year ago I wrote a post ‘ Now that VS11 has a fake library do I still need Typemock Isolator to fake out SharePoint? ’. Well this discussion becomes relevant for more people as with Visual Studio 2012.2 ( currently available as a CTP ) the Microsoft Fakes move from the Ultimate SKU to the Premium...

  • New book from Gojko Adzic ‘Impact Mapping’

    A common problem with getting software developed is the needing to get everyone aiming for the same goal. This too often gets lost in the development process; the real goal of the business is not communicated to the development team.  It maybe that the goal professed by the business is not the one...

  • Black Marble at the 2012 Abbey Dash

    Another good turn out this year for the Age UK Abbey Dash 10K in Leeds . Over 9000 runners this year, certainly seemed much busier than previous years.   Again Black Marble had staff members running. As with last year we did a wisdom of crowds based handicap race for the impressive Black Marble...

  • Reinstalling again…

    Just completing the second reinstall of Windows 8 on my Lenovo W520 in 10 days due to my new SSD failing and needing to be replaced. To try to ease the process I though I would try putting on the miscellaneous tools I use such as 7Zip , Filezilla etc. using Chocolatey . I have to say first impressions...

  • What’s wrong with the Kindle app for Windows 8

    A few things really including: If you sign out you lose any downloads! There doesn’t appear to be any way to read kindle format ebooks obtained from other sources. In other words you are locked into Amazon If you sync your settings between Windows 8 systems – seems like a good idea – then only have a...

  • Weekend trip to see family – 1 OS upgrade, 1 network printer installed and 3 machines de-virused

    I have been away over the weekend seeing family, and as anyone who is in IT (or is a medical doctor I suspect) would expect I had the standard experience – everyone wanted me to show me something they were worried about that turned to be virus related. This trip I did one operating system upgrade, one...

  • Skydrive pushes me over my broadband usage

    I got back from a trip away to find an unexpected bill for broadband  through the letterbox. I have paid about the same each quarter for broadband for a good while now, I don’t see much variation as I rarely use my home phone, then again who does? This bill was nearly double, why? I think it was...

  • Thoughts on my Channel9 post

    After hearing my TEE video on Channel9 mentioned on Radio TFS I thought I should watch it through, I had only found time to do a quick look previously. This is all part of my on-going self review process , a form of self torture. It seems the issues I mentioned last time are still there, I still too...

  • More thoughts on Typemock Isolator, Microsoft Fakes and Sharepoint

    I posted yesterday on using Typemock and Microsoft Fakes with SharePoint . After a bit more thought I realised the key thing in using Typemock I found easier was the construction of my SPListItem dataset. Typemock allowed me to fake SPListItems and put them in a generic List<SPListItem> then just...
