A couple of months ago there my desktop computer started doing this annoying stutter, every 15-30 seconds it would just pause everything (audio, video, mouse, keyboard), and I couldn't figure out why, I tried uninstalling stuff I didn't need anymore, ran CCleaner, several anti-spyware software, stopped unnecessary services, I even tried to stop "explorer.exe", but nothing, it still stuttered.
Yesterday my laptop died on me (probably the overheating nvidia chip problem), and it will probably take some time until it fixed, so I took another shot at fixing the annoying stutter.

Don't get me wrong, I like Visual Studio, it's the best IDE I've ever worked with (and I think I've worked with at least 90% of the IDEs out there), and thanks to Microsoft Dreamspark I now have my own license key to Visual Studio 2008 Professional (I don't have to use the trial version anymore, woohoo).
Yesterday I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 (from 8.10), and I must say I'm quite impressed, it feels a lot more stable than previous versions, and a lot more mature.
In 8.10 Wi-Fi wasn't very stable, I kept having to boot to Windows and then boot back to Ubuntu for it work, and now it just works.
The new themes they've added are really good, I'm currently using "Dust Sand" which has a Mac-ish look it without being a Mac-clone.

For a long time now I've been using delicious to keep my bookmarks online so I can access them without logging in (I don't like entering passwords on other people's computers...).
It wasn't the best solution, but it worked.
Read more...I'm using firefox with two extensions that use the same hotkeys: Firebug (for web debugging) and del.icio.us (for online bookmarking).
Read more...Well, it took me a couple of hours, but I’ve finally made it! I managed to load an embedded image from a dll using WPF.
In Windows.Forms I would just add a resource to the resource file, and I was
able to access the resource easily via Resources.{name_of_resource_here}
,
but in WPF this doesn’t help me, because I needed an ImageSource
.
Aligning text to the right... sounds like a simple thing to do, apparently not that simple.
First, you have to define a CellTemplate
and a DataTemplate
for the

with an internal TextBlock
that has it's
