Chris Brumme has posted again, this time on TransparentProxy. This post is huge. Most of this stuff goes over my head but I read it anyway, hoping to learn by osmosis.
A little humor for all of us Starbucks-energized developers.
The Oracle of Starbucks
Astrology is lame and Myers-Briggs is for losers. The omniscient Oracle of Starbucks can tell you everything about your personality by what you drink at Starbucks. Simply enter your full drink order -- including size -- into the field below and the all-knowing Oracle will tell you everything about your personality. Better yet, input your friends' orders to find out what they're really like.
Unlike other imitations, the Oracle is 100% accurate.
Jeff Key talks about how to kill an application pronto. I would like to add that if you have a serious need to kill processes (Jeff's need seems to be the occasion kill), PsTools from Sysinternals has a nifty little utility called PsKill. It can kill by process ID or name (i.e., aspnet_wp is a good one for me) on a local or remote computer using your account or another that you specify. The great thing about Sysinternals freeware is that they were xcopy-deployed before it became a .NET thing. DebugView is another awesome tool, especially for remote debugging on production computers (where they disable your debugging support!).
