So I started a new job! Very excited. They use Rational ClearCase. Big Learning curve. The best way I learn something is to read a little and then dive right in. I develop on Windows using Visual Studio .Net 2005. The first thing I came across was Wikipedias entry. I was looking for information, training and books and found the The Rational Edge ezine. The first thing I was looking for was Visual Studio Team Systems Rational integration. The reality is that Rational WILL NOT support VSTS. Instead Rational has decided to create a competitor to VSTS for Java developers and completely ignore .Net developers. But I guess you cannot blame them for not competing with Microsoft because they would definitely loose.
So I turned to Open Source. Fortunately, there is ClearCase support in CruiseControl.Net. But there is no NAnt support. There is also no MSBuild support, but I did find a great MSBuild Task repository. So I am thinking of coding support for both of these.

I noticed today that when I fast forward a WMA file on my Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC phone (PPC-6700) more often I get a normal sounding FF as apposed to MP3s that give unintelligible sounds when fast forwarding. It still is not a good experience compared to much cheaper MP3 players.

Several times I have set the volume to 0 and put the phone to vibrate when entering a meeting. Then when coming out of a meeting, I hit the phone button and the phone makes the call but I get no volume! I don’t think anyone would ever want to make a phone call where they have no volume. When I hit the call button it shouldn’t it turn the volume up for me. Interesting enough, in this scenario if I plug in the headset the volume is OK?

I have used a laptop for my main development machine for years. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. I have used a secondary monitor for a while and it is great. Sort of the reverse is to use your desktop development machine and use your laptop as a secondary screen. That is when you need mazivisa:
