I didn’t want to say anything but a few days ago Milano mentioned it in a post in our forum so I guess that gave me the green flag :)
We are now working on the next version of DeKlarit code-named “florida”. We want to add a lot of new stuff but I think one of the most important features will be the Silverlight addin which will let you create web applications with Silverlight controls. We are still in the process of making a few decisions like, will it be a full Silverlight app or will it have aspx pages as containers for the Silverlight controls? We believe the second is the best choice right now since we have two excellent web addins and we can use the navigation logic we already have in those. That means it will be pretty easy for you to migrate your current WebGenerator generated app to a brand new Silverlight app. Cool uh?
Also, we’re thinking on REST support for our WCF addin, WPF for a fully funtional WinGenerator addin independent of third party controls, something you guys’ve been asking for, and full text search in generated applications among others. Also, I have to work on our security features for the generated apps and add a few features like allowing a user to change his password, sending conformation emails and more.
So if you have any suggestions, now is the time. I can’t assure you we’ll implement them all but we’ll surely keep’em under the radar.

It’s a fact, Microsoft wants you to use the 2008 version of Visual Studio rather than 2005. But what if you are in a big project, not ready to change the IDE, yet, and you want to install VS2008 to test the new features? They say everything works fine but the true is you loose an important extension: Visual Studio 2005 extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (WCF & WPF).
The problem is that you can’t install them because you have .net 3.5 installed so googling around I found a pretty useful post from Timur.
Just locate the installer with your Visual Studio 2005 command line and execute the following command:
msiexec /i vsextwfx.msi WRC_INSTALLED_OVERRIDE=1
I don’t know what’s going on with that package cause the site where it used to be available to download from is no longer available, so if you need it I uploaded to my SkyDrive account. Download it from here.
Edit: I also found it here, as I mentioned in my comment below.

In a way, we’re getting used to be amazed by Apple news. The iPod, the iPod shuffle, the iPod Nano, the iPhone, the iPod touch, the MacBook Air and so on. The have also been showing some huge improvements in the software division, iTunes, Time Machine (my favorite) and more. Today I read an article about Apple’s newest file system called ZFS to be released on Snow Leopard.
I didn’t realize that NTFS is 20 years old already, and if you think about it, what are you using today from 1988?. Anyway, I like the comparison Harris does with Microsoft and GM.
I said it before… I was happily surprised by Microsoft Live Mesh, but let’s be honest, it’s not even close to releasing a brand new top of the line FS :(
What’s Microsoft doing about it?

Goomez started as a test. I wanted to create an application that given a server it could crawl all the shared folders of the server. So I stared googling around and I found it. There I was, with a program that could "know" the names of the shared folders on a server, but what could I do with that?
So I thought, "well, I could create a crawler to get info from the servers, save that data in a database and the query the tables if I want to know whether I file or program I'm looking for, is in fact, in any of my servers". So that's how Goomez was born.
It changed a bit after Milano's suggestion to use Lucene.net, but now Goomez is what we use at Artech when somebody wants to find a software installer.
Today I decided to make it public. It has no tricky license or anything like that, I created a space in Assembla Google Code so you can download the source code and do whatever you want with it. Also, you can upload some fixes or new features, I'll be approving the changes (at least for now) in case somebody breaks anything.
As I mentioned before, Assembla has a wiki and some other stuff that I plan to use like the tickets and files. (Edit: Google Code also has a wiki)
One more thing. This software is being released as is with a full "works on my machine" certification. 
Oh! I almost forgot... here's the link to the space. Enjoy!
EDIT: The Goomez project is no longer hosted in Assembla. We moved to Google Code at http://code.google.com/p/goomez
