Photos after spaces

Probably the part I loved the most about my spaces blog was the ability to host my photos and and blog at the same place. BlogSpot has limited hosting abilities that are good enough for blogging but not good enough to share large albums with friends and family. The answer to this problem is Flickr.com. For those of you who haven't found Flickr yet it's a free service that allows you to store and share photos online. Check it out

Common Misconception: You can only create Forms on the UI Thread

A common misconception I run into from time to time is that you can only create a Form on the main UI thread of a .NET program. This is usually being confused with a different but similar rule.

"Forms and other UI elements can only be accessed from the thread they were created on"

It is perfectly legal to create forms on different threads and display them all at the same time. You just cannot perform cross thread access between the forms and controls or manipulate them from a different thread.

What to do when the cafeteria is closed and you didn't drive to work

Since today is the last work day before new years, our cafeteria is closed down. I left in quite a rush this morning and didn't consider this. Normally I'd group up with some other co-workers for lunch but once again it's the last day before new years so no one is here :(. Luckily our vending machine is pretty good so I'll have a decent lunch (albeit quite granola with just a power bar and trail mix).

First question

So my first question after starting blogging on this site is "Why isn't the Title field shown by default when posting?" By default on Blogger.com the Title field is hidden and essentially a large part of the content of your post is used as the title. It seems like it should be the other way around. But I guess it helps with some RSS readers that only download the "Title" part of a post.

Starting yet another blog. Previously my blog was hosted on MSN spaces but I've since decided to move over to this space since it seems more rife with users. I'll post something more interesting later today.
