Via Ned Batchelder, Scott Hanselman has an extensive list of programmer tools.
A lot of the stuff there applies only to .NET and so don't apply to me yet, but some of the neat stuff includes BgInfo and AutoRuns from Sysinternals (with AutoRuns I found that DeadAIM loads a DLL on startup (evil) so I uninstalled DeadAIM), DxRuler, ZoomIn, and Highlight, a useful-looking tool that will create marked-up versions of source code for you. In the past I've considered setting up Scintilla or SciTE in some kind of batch mode to do this.
Cool, here's an awesome prime time grid (here's another one) for the upcoming season.
Shows I'm looking forward to:
- Enterprise - 9/10 at 8pm on UPN
- Friends - 9/25 at 8pm on NBC
- Smallville - 10/1 at 8pm on The WB
- Angel - 10/1 at 9pm on The WB
- 24 - Tuesday 10/28 at 9pm on Fox
Others:
Update: Alias, which I've never seen before, is Sunday, 9/28, at 9pm on ABC.
It's happening! Via WHEDONesque, Joss has done it, there's going to be a Firefly movie!!. Very exciting!
Also see this interview with Joss about the movie. Still a damn shame the show got cancelled.
Glenn Reynolds: On Attacks and Mindsets has a lot worth reading, along with one of the most inspirational lines I've read in a long time:
Just 109 minutes after a new form of terrorism — the most deadly yet invented — came into use, it was rendered, if not obsolete, at least decidedly less effective.
Deconstructed, unengineered, thwarted, and put into the dust bin of history. By Americans. In 109 minutes.
Read the rest of that. Though while our airlines are safer than they were, one of our main fronts on our War on Terror, our very own borders, are as porous as ever. Both parties are at fault for ignoring this very severe problem.
I'm also going to print this bit about World War IV, which I think is a very appropriate way to think about the WoT. The timeline at the end of that article, however, left off a lot of the precursors to the war, like the first WTC bombing, the Cole bombing, the Khobar Towers bombing, and other acts of war against us that we foolishly chose to ignore during the Clinton years.
We've been at war for a lot longer than we've recognized, which is why this foolish Newsweek cover is short sighted, yet typical for what I've come to expect from Newsweek. My dad still subscribes to the thing, but I feel no compulsion to even flip through it anymore.
Besides, oh, the two suicide bombings, this is the most evil thing I've heard about today.
More from the InstaPundit.
And more.
