For many years, I used MultiEdit as my primary text editor. I loved that program. It did everything I needed except one thing. It does not support Unicode files. Lately I have been using Visual Studio.NET as my editor of choice but there are things I don’t like about it either. For example, sometimes I want to create a simple console app and I don’t want to have to create a VS.NET project for it. I would rather get create a new .cs file and F9 to compile it, or something like that. MultiEdit will do this but as I mentioned it does not support Unicode.
So my question for all: What would you recommend as a sweet text editor that I can use as my editor of choice? And please, don’t say Notepad.

Press release: “Avanade Inc., a premier global technology integrator for Microsoft solutions in the enterprise, today announced it has acquired G. A. Sullivan, of St. Louis, Mo.”
Melanie and I just returned from East Durham, NY in the Catskills. Christine and the Early family invited us up for the 26th annual East Durham Irish Festival, and for the second year in a row I had a blast. The music was great especially the Young Dublins from LA and NYC’s McCabe. And as always, Lizzy Joe’s shepherd’s pie was delicious. But the funniest moment was when Christine grabbed the micro from the stage and shouted “Black 47 sucks…”.
Thanks Christine for a great weekend. I can’t wait until next year.
A new version of Reflector is out. It is a class browser for .NET components and assemblies. It has a very nice C#/VB decompiler, which seems to be better then Anakrino, imo. Reflector is a must have for .NET devs.

After being away for almost two weeks, I finally returned home last night. And one of the first things I did was setup our new Sony DAV-C770 DVD Dream System. These system is perfect for our place and has very nice sound quality. Afterbang never sounded so good.
I am finally working on an interesting customer project with some guys from Microsoft. One of the coolest things about the project is how we are using WSDL to describe services and generating code for the service. My latest task is to spec out how to describe bindings for .NET remoted services using alternative channels, i.e., not HTTP or TCP, in WSDL. It’s fun to hack up the XML then write a console app to try it out.
Saw the new X-Men movie tonight. Sorry to say but I thought it was a bore. The first one was much better in my opinion. Although I can say it is the best movie I have seen in the theatre this year. But at the same time, it is the only movie I have seen in the theatre this year.
Okay, so here’s one issue with working in MON, NJ. I decided to see the new X-Men movie tonight. My plan was to have dinner first followed by a movie. Little did I know the last showing was at 8 pm. I hadn’t even left for dinner at 8 pm. Oh well. Maybe I will catch the flick tomorrow night.
