Arrange Act Assert and BDD specifications

With Rhino Mocks 3.5 just around the corner, I've started using it to create much more readable tests. One of the things that always bothered me with Expect.Call, constraints and the like was that it mixed in the Arrange with Assert. For those that haven't heard of AAA, it's a pattern for...

Ubuntu 8.04, VirtualBox, and USB support

UPDATE : Make sure your user account is a member of the vboxusers account. VirtualBox will not start and the error will tell you this, but just want to be explicit.

Version control with Subversion: so easy my wife can do it

Yes folks, it's true. I have converted my wife to be a loyal Subversion user. My wife is not technical, not by a long shot. But the power of Subversion and the simplicity of TortoiseSVN made the convincing very easy. Ed. note: that's not my wife in the above screen. Please don't get me in...

If you are Twitterhaulic like Mr Chad Meyer . I strongly recommend giving Twhirl a whirl! (Sorry couldn't resist). I am very impressed with the Adobe Air interface . Very clean and stylish.

ReSharper 4.0 Nightly builds
