Serge Baranovsky — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 00:04:00 GMT

vbfeeds.com was down on Sunday but it is back up and running fine

Serge Baranovsky — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 01:52:00 GMT

vbfeeds.com subscribers may have noticed the site was down for about 24 hours. Hopefully it wasn't much of inconvenience.

VB Feeds was running on SQL 2005 Beta 2 which expired in this month. I knew that's coming but as usual many things that required immediate attention pushed moving VB Feeds to another box with SQL 2005 RTM down the list.

It is done now - I moved the site on Monday night and it is running fine.

I apologize for the downtime.

C# Feeds launched!

Serge Baranovsky — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 18:19:00 GMT

Those of you who are subscribed to our VBFeeds have only seen one side of the coin ;-) Today the other side has become available - Steve Smith launched similar C# Feeds service:

Today CSharpFeeds officially goes live. This is a pet project of mine and Gregg Stark’s based on Serge’s VBFeeds.com site and its source code (thanks to Serge for letting me see the source!). VBFeeds is a great place to find just VB information from the top VB people, moderated so that it doesn’t include posts about going on vacation or other personal posts. C# Feeds seeks to do the exact same thing, but for C# content, rather than VB. If there’s a C# feed we should be pulling that we don’t have, let us know. We’ll be adding a suggest a feed mechanism fairly soon, though I’m not sure what that translates into in real time.

Oh yeah, and we updated all of Serge’s admin tools to use Atlas. Anonymous users won’t see any difference, but it totally speeds up the post moderation process. Very cool.

And, Steve, I wouldn't mind taking a peek at the Atlas admin piece ;-) I do the majority of the VBFeeds moderation on my Pocket PC phone and the mobile layout is most important for me, but a real life Atlas example would be cool to look at.

Consider the Microsoft platform for Web 2.0 development

I've been following the Web 2.0 buzz since August 2005 and until recently from the t3echnology prospective it was primarily associated with PHP and Ruby On Rails. Since the introduction of Atlas things are changing! A very well written article:

CodeIt.Once - Painless Refactoring for .NET

Serge Baranovsky — Mon, 15 May 2006 20:41:00 GMT

We have released CodeIt.Once - refactoring tool for .NET developers.

CodeIt.Once allows so save big on the time you spend writing and maintaining your source code. It also helps when you need to modify or reesign your existing .NET application - saves you hours of tedious search-and-replace-try-if-it-still-runs-or-broken-start-all-over-again... You know what I mean - we all have done that...

First version of the CodeIt.Once includes 14 “auto-magical” refactoring operations:

Why “auto-magical“? Because you just shoot and forget.

CodeIt.Once is Add-In that works with Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005, supports both VB.NET and C# - one product, one license covers all of that.

To make things even better (for you) we are offering free personal/evaluation license - you can evaluate it for as long as you feel comfortable to buy it, and it is free for personal, non-commercial use - students and hobbyists.

Interested? See CodeIt.Once page for more details and download.

If you want to stay updated, make sure to subscribe to our SubMain Blog.

Don't forget to send your feedback - good or bad - I want to know all of it. Feedback is the most important and we value it very much - any way that works for you - whether via this blog, SubMain Blog, CodeIt.Once support forum, email support@submain.com or me at my personal sergeb@vbcity.com

New VB related feeds added to VBFeeds.com

Serge Baranovsky — Sat, 06 May 2006 02:35:00 GMT

Haven't updated you on VBFeeds.com status in a while - my apologies.

The feeds were added recently into the aggregation list - Microsoft XML Team's Blog (they have regular posts about VB and LINQ) and Brian Beckman - great posts on VB9 and LINQ.

And just last night I added Geoff Appleby's Blog - Geoff is VB.NET MVP and a nice fella all around :) - there is plenty of VB and .NET stuff on his blog.

Hopefully this helps to keep you connected ;-)
