Sharp Architecture Presentations

I came across a fantastic presentation on the S#arp Architecture framework, delivered by Billy McCafferty, the creator of the framework.

The presentation is so compelling that it makes you want to dive right into coding with it. While it may feel a bit “rough” around the edges, I suspect we’ll see significant improvements in the developer experience in the near future.

Additionally, tomorrow Håkan Alexander will be presenting the framework at Elevate. It will be interesting to see how the Avegean community responds. I’m optimistic about a big success!

Delete-key in Parallels Desktop

OK – this might well be one of the shortest thing I’ve written but it’s sooo annoying.

If you want to do DELETE (hitting the Delete-key) in the Windows OS running in Parallels, go [fn]-[<-] (function and backspace) on your Mac Keyboard.

Ahhh – so nice to get that out of my system.

The application we're developing includes a feature that lets users manipulate columns and rows, similar to Excel's PivotTable functionality. When I first saw this (considering the application was built with older ASP technologies), I was a bit apprehensive as it looked quite complex. However, I was introduced to the [ASPxPivotGrid](http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/ASP/Pivot_Grid) by [

Vasa Band Does It Again

As I wrote before, we are truly blessed right now in the Vasa Band. It feels like our music is deeply infused with the Lord’s presence, and everything seems to be aligning perfectly with our long-held aspirations.

We recently had another wonderful performance on Sunday night, conducted by Andreas Kratz. You can listen to a recording of the concert here (please note the file is 45 MB).

I am incredibly proud and grateful to be part of this amazing band and to serve as a Salvation Army bandsman. I’ve played with many great bands, but the sense of fulfillment and joy I experience with this group is unparalleled.

Thank you, everyone—let’s keep moving forward on this path. And a special thanks to Andreas Kratz for helping us shine!

Dropbox – Your Drive in the Cloud

As part of my commitment to practicing what I preach, I’ve started transitioning more of my work into the cloud. After managing emails, contacts, and calendars online, it’s time to move my files.

Dropbox has proven to be an excellent tool for this purpose. It offers a straightforward way to store files online and sync them across multiple devices. Additionally, Dropbox allows you to share specific folders or make files publicly available. For instance, you can find some example code here.

With Dropbox, I no longer need to rely on USB drives—it’s a seamless and convenient solution for file management. Highly recommended!

Marcus and Mac my clumsy fingers

As readers of this blog might have noticed I have not only switched to Mac (Book Pro) but also have done so after a long while on the PC-side of things.

I am not sure that it has anything to do with this but the wonderful touch pad on my Mac Book and I don’t click (no pun intended). I may also have to do with lacking fine motorics…  but I hope not.

One of my most trusted Mac-source have supplied me with this video. Thanks Magnus.
