So, i’ve been wanting to optimize the colors in VS2005 since i’ll be coding a little more in the comming months. I have a big 24″ wide screen from Dell and all the white light of VS2005 makes me crazy after 8 hours… that sad, just check out this post at codinghorror.com! I’m using Zenburn’s schema, it’s nice and darkish. I did change the contrast between colors a bit. In the default theme it is hard to see the difference between some items in VS2005, and that’s what the highlighting is for right?

So, this is the first time that I’m blogging about a K2 problem I’ve had for a while… At work we have a nice mail and registration process and with the new K2 BlackPearl we’d like to be able to design the process with “nice” InfoPath forms (since they are easy to create). K2 BlackPearl has some great integration with InfoPath, SharePoint and SmartObjects. The Mail and Registration process is quite simple.

Hi, I’ve just reinstalled Windows XP on my laptop, yes you read it, windows XP. Why XP and not Vista? basicly because i’ve tried it and it doesn’t work fast enough for me, and why waste resources when i want to save those resources for VMWare. Now saving resources is important and i frequently check my program files if there is any software that can be uninstalled to save some disk space (not that it helps any time i do uninstall something).

Hi, Ever made a webpart with a consumer/provider model in it? The system is very nice to work with and to create webparts with, but i did have some trouble handling a button click and using the provider… the WebParts’ lifecycle helps understand! I couln’t find it in msdn and i did some searching, found this blog but that didn’t help mutch since i’ve got a different response when stepping trough all the events…

So, I came back from berlin on wednesday evening. The flight was fine and i even went to work on thursday and friday.We learned lots of new stuff in Berlin, i really linked the conference and hope to see the photo’s in a week or so. Some of the presentations are already online! I’ve also been looking at digital camera’s and after talking to the photografer at the conference i decided to go for the Canon 400D.

Yesterday was the first day in berlin. The flight (the day before yesterday) was short and dark. The landing was rather weird because it was cloudy and the pilot sad there was a freezing drizzle. So people looked at each other like ‘how are we going to brake?’. The wheels touched the ground and the pilot slammed the brakes, everything went as normal :) The airport was small but nice, then in a taxi to the hotel, checked in and had a drink with my collegues.
