I will probably need this again somewhere in the future: An exponential back-off implementation I used somewhere; probably room for improvement, but it works good enough.
It’s Delphi, but I’ve not seen practical implementations in C# either.
(the updated version thanks to Anders Melander).

This is still one of my gripes from Visual Studio: when a changeset is linked to an incorrect work item, you still have to change this from the work item side:
You cannot change it from the changeset UI, but you can change it from most work item UI’s. You can just add a link to a the specific changeset and the changeset will show the link as well.
You have to be careful with the steps too:
If you do it in reverse order, and get the changeset number wrong, you will have an orphan changeset.

From the author of [WayBack] The Chernobyl Story [Updated & Expanded] – Album on Imgur:
I’ve assembled this collection of images surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to help people gain a better understanding of what happened. It is a very brief, but complete(ish) retelling of what happened, using edited text from a book I’ve written called “Chernobyl 01:23:40”. The book can be bought from Amazon, if anyone’s interested.
The book is even more impressive: “Chernobyl 01:23:40”

TL;DR: http://www.davidghoyle.co.uk/WordPress/?feed=rss2
Since there is no RSS link on the page [WayBack] Dave’s Development Blog – Software Development using Borland / Codegear / Embarcadero RAD Studio
Since I wanted to follow his “blog” (which is sort of a collection of WordPress pages, mainly about the programming OTA: the Open Tools API interface to Delphi and C++ Builder), I was looking for the RSS feed.
Luckily, Feedly knows how to detect most blogging platforms, so it came up with https://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed/http://www.davidghoyle.co.uk/WordPress/?feed=rss2 which indicates the final bit is the RSS feed URL.
Some interesting links from there:

Often, SVG animates a lot better than GIF. Keep this in mind:
Not only should the image be a good candidate for SVG, but SVG should also be a good candidate for the image.
such as:
- Logos,
- non-complex,
- vector-based illustrations,
- user interface controls,
- infographics,
- and icons.
