May The MasterCard Be With You Keith Franklin is a Star Wars nut. Thankfully, a ton of Star Wars-related paraphernalia already dominates the market. Whilst combing the Internet to see what's available for a possible Christmas present, I stumbled across the following item. I can see the TV ads now: Mock green light saber: 500 quatloos Droids bought from Jawas: 4,500 quatloos Death Star plans: 250,000 quatloos Having Yoda's picture on your credit card: Priceless Accepted at most remote locations across the Empire. 10:53:19 AM    comment []

FYI: FxCop v1.074 A new rev. of FxCop has been released to the masses: http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/libraries/ For those out-of-the-loop [1], FxCop is an analytic tool for examining .NET assemblies against a set of guidelines as designed by the .NET Framework team. Not surprisingly, if you run FxCop against various .NET Framework assemblies (i.e. mscorlib.dll, System.Xml.dll) it reports that a ton of guidelines being broken. Go figure. Nevertheless, it's a nice tool to have when writing a class library or when refactoring. [1] Get it? The Loop? Chicago? I have been assimilated! Wahoo! 10:34:41 AM    comment []
