The time for e-books is nigh.

There are quite a few books out now that I would really like to get my hands on, however, they are really difficult to find in book stores and using Amazon means that I generally need to pay as much as the price of the book to get it shipped out there.

What it really means is that I won’t bother, so I miss out, the publisher misses out and the author missed out. What would really convert these clicks to sales for me is downloadable e-books. We have the technology – can someone tell me why we aren’t all reading e-books?

VS.NET 2005 will not have a multi-line search/replace feature :(

I’ve followed the thread that Frans Bouma started about the lack of multi-line search and replace in Visual Studio 2005. Josh Ledgard questioned the final status of the suggestion in LadyBug of “Won’t Fix”. Is there room for a “Maybe Next Time”.

Touchtypers: I wish I had this . . .

Nic saw this in an article in the newspaper and I thought it was pretty neat. Mavis Beacon eat your heart out.

Vote: Your favorite coding font!

I stumbled across this site today. Truth be told I was trying to come up with an interesting “shouts out” to Rory Blyth for this Google Wierdos segment on .NET Rocks! Anyway, that bored me to tears so I thought I would pose the question – what is your favorite coding font? Leave your vote in the comments.

Dentist Blog

Bloggers, especially the ones whose feeds I tend to subscribe to almost always working in the tech field. Sometimes I wonder what bloggers from other industries put down in their blog – in short, what would a dentist’s blog look like?

Today I saw five patients, the last and longest appointment took a whole five minutes! I am pleased to report however that I had a 80% survival rate, the last patient rudely decided not to recover from the gas after I drove the drill through their skull.

Anyway, I am exhausted – time for a round of golf.

Ho hum.
