A blog for DevSource.com.

This blog was originally part of the blogs.ziffdavis.com site from May 2005 through June 2007 when the blog was moved to the Movable Type blog engine and hosted at blog.devsource.com/devlife.
The original blog was eventually shut down and I was given the posts so that I could host them on my own site.

Visual Studio comic strip ads

I'm definitely curious what people think of the comic strip ads for Visual Studio that have been "playing" on sites like DevSource and elsewhere. In it, some poor developer is swamped with work and, in once strip, frustrated because he has a date with Katie that he is going to be late for. Suddenly, a meteor like visual studio logo flies by his window  and crashes into earth, and we gat a "hallelujah, the crops are saved!" type epiphany from the developer. It's definitely a new form of advertising to developers! It doesn't personally speak to me, but as an over 40 female, I'm a tiny slice of the developer market profile. Maybe I can get DevSource to take a poll!
