A while ago, I wrote about Some notes on multi-touch and Windows.
Today, Dell introduced the S2340T 23″ monitor with multi touch support, aimed at Windows 8. It surpasses the minimim requirement of 5 fingers:
It also features a multi-position, articulating stand, a 10-point touch and Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution.
This comes much closer to Microsoft Surface Table. Hopefully that SDK will fully support this monitor.

I need to put some time into researching how TFS source control bindings really work, as it is not only based on these extensions:
Information is also stored in the .sln solution files. These postings should get me going:

Interesting SharePoint CAML XML trouble shooting tool:
this script is NOT meant to help you *build* your queries. There are other tools for that. This is purely a testing tool to help you during those “doh” moments.

I’ve been working with some continuous integration setups using CruiseControl.net for a suite of Visual Studio 2010 projects stored on Team Foundation Server 2010.
A few links from my research list:

I needed to make backups of a couple of maintenance USB drives.
It turned out to be pretty easy: How To Backup Bootable USB Drive describes how to do that based on a small USB Image Tool developed in .NET.
One of the things you can do with this is backup bootable Windows installation media.
Note it is a simple tool, so it backups only same size to same size. For more advanced copy purposes, use something like the professional tools from Acronis.

As a follow-up on my earlier number validation posts (Elf proef in C# and Other number verifications), I found a nice T-SQL version of the Elfproef for Dutch bank account numbers.
It works at least from SQL Server 2000 and up, most likely also in the (unsupported) SQL Server 7.

While fooling around with Microsoft Surface, you are astonished with the number of fingers it supports: 10 is no problem on the Samsung SUR40 which can also do full HD resolution (more specs here).
Not so with the standard Windows 7 touch support: that has only 2.
As I want to increase that to better mimic the development environment to the actual environment a few notes:

When moving a truckload of stuff from Visual Source Crash, I came a long many .webinfo files.
I wasn’t sure they should be in TFS, and indeed they should not:
.webinfo should be excluded. (Some info about webinfo: How to copy and configure ASP.NET projects between different local computers)

Portable Library Tools extension is a great tool for creating assemblies that run on a variety of .NET platforms without recompilation.
I hope a Visual Studio 11 version of it comes soon.
