Roel van Lisdonk probably has one blog reason that is part of my reasons: posting quick notes or snippets of code/text in order to be able to find them back.
I especially like this C# snippet because he uses both an includeMask and excludeMask to filter a DirectoryInfo.GetFiles result.
Clever (:

When you call a DbDataAdapter.Update, and it throws an exception, the exception does not include the underlying Command and its parameters.
Since the DbDataAdapter can have three commands for applying changes (DeleteCommand, InsertCommand and UpdateCommand), asking those is a bit inconvenient.
The other way is to attach an event handler to the DAL specific RowUpdated event (for instance SqlDataAdapter.RowUpdated).
This is event is called from the virtual OnRowUpdatedMethod, and has a value parameter of type RowUpdatedEventArgs which contains the Command, and Errors that occurred. Errors is just the Exception that can help indicate what went wrong.

Came accross the Chemistry Cat jokes on quickmeme, some of which are more generic science jokes than chemistry ones.
The ones I like most:
How often do you like chemistry jokes?
Periodically
What to do with a sick chemist?
If you can’t helium, and
you can’t curium then
you might as well barium.
I studied exothermic reactions
before they were cool.
Blew my chemistry experiment
Oxidents happen
Is silicon the same in Spanish
Si
Neutron wants to pay tab
Bartender: no charge for you
Chemistry jokes
are elemental

You’d think that the regex.info site only has information on Jeffrey Friedl’s Mastering Regular Expressions (a great book on RegEx programming) MRE2 Errata, MRE3 Errata and Where to get egrep (agrep and sourcecode/binary builds).
Not so (:
It also hosts a few other things, mostly having to do with imagery or photography:

Need to research this further, as I’ve seen some Interop DLLs that – when automatically merged from within Visual Studio – will not function correctly.
Keywords: ILMerge, msbuild, mkbundle.

Igor Ostrovsky wrote a few very nice MSDN magazine articles. Not all of them have ended up in the list at MSDN magazine, so here is a more complete list:
Though the articles show the majority of sample code in C#, the actual topics are of great interest to any developer writing .NET code or interfacing to it.
Some keywords in his articles: Read the rest of this entry »

I wish I had kept an eye on it after it was announced (which was 3.5 years ago, but not very stable): The Youtube HTML5 viewer trial.
It has come a long way since then. Full screen it is still not as good as the official one, but the main attraction introduced since is: configurable playback speed!
Yes, you can choose playback at 25%, 50%, 100%, 150% or 200% of the original speed. Ideal for lectures or watching replays of conference sessions.

On my research list:
I need to check out KBOX — a miniature Linux distribution integrated with a terminal for non-rooted Android devices.
It seems to add a lot of normal unix/Linux commands to your Android terminal emulator, but does not require root access.
I usually use a Windows or Mac system to browse the files on my Android device, but this should be much more convenient and aid both software developers and power users.
Now I need a remote ssh access to my Android device (:
