About the author

Ralph Trickey maintains TOAW III
I set this Blog up for fun, and for my own edication! Nothing is guaranteed, it's for my own use primarily, so even if I say that something may happen with the next release, please understand that it may not. I plan to post random thoughts and other things like that at random times here. I don't have a specific plan for what will be here.

Here's my current development environment.

4Gb Dual core laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. I plan to upgrade to a quad core later this year.

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 for devleopment, but release builds are still done with VS2008.

I'm using a productivity tool called CodeRush from DevExpress.

I'm using TFS for my source code control and bug tracking. I used Visual SourceSafe before that, and SVN for a short time. I'm using TFS at work, and it also does bug tracking, so I'm happier with it.

My backups are being done right now wilh Microsoft 'Live Mesh' I'm backing up TFS, I'm also backing up my development directory, and several other directories. These backups are going both to three other machines on my home netowrk, and also up to 'the cloud.' Live mesh gives you a free 5 Gigabyte account which has been enough. I also pull off DVDs about once a month. The TFS backups are daily, and the backups of my development directory are near real-time.

Ralph,

Does running windoz 7 help any or is it just another tech-bump?

Win7 is a progression in the OS field. Big plus is its FAR bettery than Vista, (at least for me) using 64-bit, and much better schema for usage (not the nanny-oversight secuirty in Vista).

Like all new things, its a work in progress, but steps forward from the backwards ones that is Vista. XP is still good/great, but showing its age - not like 3.11 (they STILL have these beasts working in the Dept of VA!!!!).

It will be a good OS, as always, when the get the initial bugs/opening issues, cleared/fixed.
