Whether using Windows, Linux, or Mac, we all tend to customize our desktop and use our favorite tools. Have you ever been curious about what other people use? Ever wonder what life saver you’re missing that someone else uses daily? Well, here are a few tools that I use every day.

Almost two years ago I wrote a blog entry titled "Why mv.NET?" But every couple of days we still see the same question phrased differently: "How do I connect to/from MV?" My immediate response is still to include mv.NET in your list of options. Here is an explanation why.

I found a couple articles regarding performance and scalability for ASP.NET, and ASP.NET with AJAX. I think these are a good read for anyone doing development with these tools.

On another blog I read which focuses on Excel, the author is wondering whether he should keep the Archives sidebar (to the right) with the list of links by Month/Year. I’m wondering about that too.

The first note I wrote on this topic was back in May of 2006. A recent forum inquiry asked about the merits of VMware to host MV DBMS software. I thought I’d take the opportunity to post a follow-up to the original posting with an update of how I’m using virtualization today.

In Part 5 of this unintended series I provided complete details on how to create an Excel Automation Add-in using the COM Shim Wizard from Microsoft. It works for development, not for deployment. I’ve found that in the deployment system some registry keys are missing.

I seem to have drummed up a little passion from people still suffering over at my former web host PowWeb. Check here for referrals to my current hosts.
