VS2010 drop files in editor
Jul 16th
If you have “Drag and drop text editing” disabled you cannot drop files anymore in the editor (to open them).
Please vote for the bug: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/575691/dropping-files-in-the-editor-does-not-work, maybe they fix it in the SP.

The Old New Thing

Win32 guru Raymond Chen answers a comment of mine after 3 years 
. Thanks God I don’t do Visual C++ anymore, Win32 was an absolute horror .
Windows Live Writer

Rules because of one feature: you can paste an image directly in the editor (like in MS Word) and have it posted on the blog, no more saving and uploading.
Visual Studio 2010 ASP.NET Intellinonsense

The new ViewStateMode control property completely messes my fast typing mode. I use .Visible more often, it should be before ViewStateMode.
Docs.com
May 11th
At first glance docs.com seems much better than google docs, the uploaded documents look exactly the same as on the desktop. And it’s not in Silverlight as I predicted a year ago . The UI looks exactly the same as Office 2010.
It seems that the specs for the Powerpoint Web editor are public, you can now build your own ppt editor over the cloud .
CSS New Features
May 10th
Wouldn’t it be really great if CSS had the following:
div.leftcol % div.col // inherit from class div.col
{
float:left;
}
and also:
.header
{
font-size:12px;
h1 {
color: red;
}
}
equivalent to:
.header {
font-size: 12px;
}
.header h1 {
color: red;
}

It’s so slow it’s kinda useless. If you don’t use preload_fql there’s a big change your pages will timeout. But still you’d better not use it and use a real backend database instead !
Why Google Chrome is multi-process
Mar 18th
I know why Google Chrome has one process per tab – because their damned V8 Javascript Engine has no multihtreading! There’s no explanation for not having multithreading with different Javascript contexts. I guess I’ll also have to resort to multi-processing instead of multithreading, so cool…
