I was just poking around the Internet and came across a blog post highlighting a solution to a common problem: find all files matching a criteria (e.g. *.dll) from a folder and all its subfolders (e.g. c:\windows and all subdirectories). In this post, I compare the speed of two methods using code in C#. Read the rest of this entry »

Unit Testing ASP.NET? ASP.NET unit testing has never been this easy.
Typemock is launching a new product for ASP.NET developers – the ASP.NET Bundle – and for the launch will be giving out FREE licenses to bloggers and their readers.
The ASP.NET Bundle is the ultimate ASP.NET unit testing solution, and offers both Typemock Isolator, a unit test tool and Ivonna, the Isolator add-on for ASP.NET unit testing, for a bargain price.
Typemock Isolator is a leading .NET unit testing tool (C# and VB.NET) for many ‘hard to test’ technologies such as SharePoint, ASP.NET, MVC, WCF, WPF, Silverlight and more. Note that for unit testing Silverlight there is an open source Isolator add-on called SilverUnit.
The first 60 bloggers who will blog this text in their blog and tell us about it, will get a Free Isolator ASP.NET Bundle license (Typemock Isolator + Ivonna). If you post this in an ASP.NET dedicated blog, you’ll get a license automatically (even if more than 60 submit) during the first week of this announcement.
Also 8 bloggers will get an additional 2 licenses (each) to give away to their readers / friends.
Go ahead, click the following link for more information on how to get your free license.
My cousin Karen just won the first ever Sylvie and Simon Blais Award for Emerging Visual Artists. Way to go, Karen!
She also has a website and blog. Check them out at http://www.KarenZalamea.Com and http://karenzalamea.blogspot.com/
Here’s the Press Release:
—————————————————–
Montréal, Wednesday, May 6, 2009 – The Sylvie and Simon Blais Foundation is pleased to announce the name of the first recipient of the Sylvie and Simon Blais Award for Emerging Visual Artists. Karen Zalamea, currently at work on an MFA with a concentration in Photography at Concordia University, has the honour of receiving this award. The Foundation would also like to salute Meghan Price (Concordia University) and Stéphane Dionne (UQÀM), who were among the three finalists for the award. We were very happy with the high quality of the seventeen applications received, which made the jury’s final decision an extremely difficult one.
First and foremost a photographer, Karen Zalamea has broadened her practice to include video, performance and installations. This young artist explores the notion of work—which she depicts as a physical experience involving repeated gestures and exertions—as it defines men and women’s relationships with others and with the world around them.
The members of the jury, John R. Porter, Honorary Director of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, Lise Lamarche, art historian, Josée Drouin-Brisebois, Curator of Contemporay Art at the National Gallery of Canada, Éliane Excoffier, photographer and Simon Blais, met to select the recipient of the award on April 23. An exhibition of works by Karen Zalamea will be held at Galerie Simon Blais from August 5 to September 5 of this year.
Sylvie and Simon Blais wanted to commemorate their gallery’s 20th anniversary by making a direct contribution to the community. This led to the creation of the Sylvie and Simon Blais Foundation and the establishment of the Sylvie and Simon Blais Award for Emerging Visual Artists. This award—the only one of its kind in Québec—aims to promote and publicize the work of young artists by providing a student in a Master of Fine Arts program at a Québec university with a scholarship and a professional-level solo exhibition at Galerie Simon Blais during the month of August 2009. We are proud to have been able to put together a jury made up of very distinguished members of the art scene, who determined the recipient of the award from among the seventeen applications we received, declared Simon Blais, President of the Foundation.

The Bosch SHE55M02UC available at Trail Applicances was our choice to replace our builder-grade dishwasher. A dishwasher is a very simple machine; it fills with water, a pump sprays water through nozzles, drain, and repeat. Of course, dishwasher manufacturers will try very hard to distinguish their dishwashers from the rest of the competition. The German-engineered Bosch SHE55M02UC has many features that set it apart from its North American counterparts. Read the rest of this entry »

Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY Monster Cable HDMI cables! I was just on the Future Shop community forums and was reading through a recent thread on the subject. Obviously, the mention of MonoPrice.com is against forum rules so you won’t hear of competitors. Future Shop sells this overpriced stuff and it’s really quite sad that some people actually buy it.
Save your money and just order it online at MonoPrice.
