Visual Studio 2008
Earlier this week I received a free copy of Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2008 by being an Action Pack subscriber and completing a short little web tutorial and quiz. I installed it last night and decided to get the Chef code/projects converted so I could start using it.
The usual project conversion wizard popped up as soon as I opened the solution and prompted me to upgrade it to the new VS08 format (still targeting .NET 2.0 though). When the wizard completed, however, I was getting a few compile errors in some of the WinForms designer files (.designer.cs). It was easy enough to fix, the conversion just messed up namespaces during process, which surprised me a little bit.
I haven’t spent much time actually developing in 08 yet, but now that I have Chef converted I’m going to stop using 2005 in favor of it. I’ll report any cool new features I run into.

Another Project
Here’s this weekend’s project, the white thing above the window… more photos available.
I also put Ana’s shelves up, but we decided to put them in the office to match the new window feature.

1 Month Photos
Today David is a whopping 1 Month Old!
Since we want photos of each month of the first year, I setup the “studio” in our family room and Ana got him all decked out after a bath.
The rest are online, check them out.
This was the first use of my new light set (Victor KT750 3-Light 750-Watt Thrifty Photoflood Kit). So far, so good.

First Project
This weekend I used my new saw for something a bit more delicate than the workbench. Decorative shelves for Ana’s sewing room! So they wouldn’t look too crappy, I also had to buy a router this weekend (the non-electronic kind, who would have thought…). I’ve never used one before but it turned out quite fine.
Here’s one of the pair.

This is what happens
Every now and again, when I’m done changing David’s diaper, he ends up looking like… this!
I know, I know… terrible. 🙂

How did they do that?
We’re into month 2 of a writer’s strike in Hollywood, but ER is STILL ON. A new episode aired last night. What’s it going to take to kill this show? It’s on something like its 30th season, isn’t it?!
Sure feels like it anyway.

Someone stole your platelets
That’s what the nurse told Ana today after getting her blood tested. Bad results, she’s down to 15,000.
She was just about weaned off the prednisone, but is now getting bumped back up and will be tested again next week.
