The RD in RDdotNET stands for whatever I feel like on the day. It could stand for Research & Development or something more bizar like Reality Dysfunction.

Developer != Designer

The difference between a Designer and Developer, when it comes to design skills, is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it.

Scott Hanselman

Summary

Martin has been involved with computers in one way or another for as long as he can remember, but started professionally in 2000. After university Martin started out as an ASP 3.0 developer for a year working with Access and VBScript, but he breathed a sigh of relief when the .NET Framework was released in 2001 and has been working with .NET and VB ever since. He has been certified in Team Foundation Server since early 2007 and thinks it is the best thing since sliced bred. You can download Martin Hinshelwood's CV to find out more.

codeplex

Here I am slogging my guts out, trying to get TFS Sticky Buddy v2.0 out the door and bang goes the TFS server :(

 bang 

This is tfs05 on the Codeplex environment. All the others seem to be running OK, but juts my luck the one I am using is the one that is affected, and nothing on the Outage page! its been 3 hours and nothing. I have emailed them and reported it on the Discussions page.

Now, although I am, I am not really complaining as they have provided a fantastic service over the last, what… two years!

Hats off to the CodePlex team, but get the bloody server fixed so I can check in my code!
