The last week or so at work I've been converting our applications from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2005. It has been going well, most of the work has been replacing the now obsolete method calls to use the new ones. One of the most useful but at the same time useless tools we are starting to use is MSbuild. The great thing about it is from the command line you just go:
msbuild mysolution.sln /property:Config=Release
this will build you a release version of your solution (very useful for nightly builds). The annoying thing about it is that it will not build vdproj files meaning no easy way to build MSI's from the command line, perhaps I'll be looking to WiX for this.

After putting it off for a while I finally brought a new car. Next month I'll be modifying it more to suit my needs, I've gotta lower it, add a big bore exhaust system and convert the double overhead cam. I'm not sure exactly what all this means, but I've been informed that I will be needing this.

I've just added www.sitemeter.com to the site, it's a great free stats system which supplies a surprisingly large amount of useful information, and you can see an example here. While on the topic of this site, I think I'll be doing a small makeover this long weekend nothing too major though.
