Pascal Belaud, the creator of Olymars, has this really interesting VS add-in that lets you link source files into a project without copying the files themselves.

I came across this press release article today. There is something very scary about a billion dollar corporation like MS using a small Southern California based consultancy as the driver for a “prescriptive guidance” dealing with ESB.

I like seeing my name in lights as much as the next guy.
