From Pepperoni to Pig Anus

I just got back from the local pizzeria... and today, they made a mistake.

So Who's Manic Now?

Mark's psychic Helga is in denial *again*, Mark's clueless neighbors call the cops *again* (idiots!), and somebody gets a new therapist as part of his settlement agreement with the State. Sound like fun kids? Oh, you have no idea....

A Tale of Seimens and Sluts

Mark promises to change his ways this week and take a stand on the moral high ground. No really! We're not kidding this time. Along the way The Millah tries once again to improve relations with the Dutch. How does it all turn out? Listen in my friends. Listen in....

You may have heard about this from The Register or some other source. The Microsoft Zune device is shipping without support for Windows Vista. What does that mean?

In case you don't know, I am a Microsoft Regional Director and are therefore privy to information the public doesn't usually get.  The real story is that even though Vista has been released to manufacturing, it is only available to beta testers and those with MSDN Subscriptions. It will not be available for consumers until January or February. The Zune team's deadline for shipping Vista-compatible software for the Zune is that time. This makes sense to me. I don't know what all the hub-bub is about. If you're on the bleeding edge you have to deal with timing issues like this. It comes with the territory. The anti-Microsoft hype is "Zune doesn't support Vista." The reality is quite different.

Mark Miller on Load on Demand

Dangerous Times at 7-11

A lot of you guys don't know this about me, but I kind of don't drink a lot, and there are some good reasons for it...

<WS-*/>

Kate Gregory, Stephen Forte, and Roy Osherove join Richard Campbell and Carl Franklin on stage at TechEd Europe in Barcelona for this discussion about Agile methodologies.

According to this press release, Microsoft is embarking on a new era of cooperation with Novell around supporting SUSE Linux. What it boils down to is that Microsoft will support SUSE on machines that support Windows, and will co-develop technology that will make it easier for people to run both on the same machine.

Whatever you think the outcome for either company will be, I think the consumer wins here. I commend Microsoft and Novell for setting the example of what can be done when old rivals bury the hatchet and get on with it.

What do you think?

<Architecture/>

This week Scott and Carl discuss Software Architecture from the Tech Ed developer conference in Barcelona.

No, I Am *Not* Going to Look at Medusa!

Mark lends a helping hand to the pregnant wife of a friend, while desperately trying to avoid eye contact with Medusa.

Anyone who has seen all our websites (www.dotnetrocks.com, www.mondays.pwop.com, www.hanselminutes.com, www.dnrTV.com, www.pwop.com) knows that Dax Pandhi at Nukeation Studios is responsible for all the graphic design.

Well, to make a short story longer, he scored a gig at an IndiMix, an Indian conference sharing the same stage as Steve Ballmer. The local paper also did a news story on him in which he calls out his connection with us as helping him get off the ground.

Way to go, Dax!

You asked for it. Here it is. The Floating Head of Death Video. If you don't know what this is, read the backstory.

We got several complaints about some minor profanity (both sexual and religious in nature) that was not bleeped in show #200. We are usually very careful about this, but a couple got by us this time. We are in the process of fixing this and will upload a version 2.0 soon. We try to make a product that you can feel safe sharing with kids.

Thanks to those who brought it to our attention. I will add a comment to this post when it is online.
