So I was introduced to Launchy the other day.
Its pure awesome to be back into the mode where I can use the keyboard for almost everything.
If you are hurting your brain, trying to stay on your keyboard more moving from ubuntu, windows, mac os, and back to windows. Look no further, launchy works on them all, but even better, its so closely related that if you already have krunner, quicksilver, and now launchy, you won’t miss a beat, or remember its there.
If I find any cons with it I’ll keep this post updated, for now, I’m back in keyboard only launching without arrow keys, or pulling of hair.
Its also on hanselman’s tools list, a must read.

Hi Chris: Read your feedback on a NAnt to build 3.5 solutions(Liam McLennan)from some time ago. I am new to NAnt and am tasked with “proving” myself to a company by getting Nant to work with their VS 2008 code. They have written a good portion of their code in VS 2005 and built in NAnt. It looks like the 2009 nightly build took care of the framework issue? But it appears we still have an issue with the build of the solution file (which is where my error occurs, solution format not supported). Having said all that I was hoping for two things from you. One, you indicated that there are a lot of tutorials in the wild. As I find NAnt code expamples to be scarce, can you point me at those wild tutorials? The second is Liam gave us code that you suggested an alternative to by using NantContrib. Could you supply a simple build example calling NanContrib to NAnt build a simple windows project and solution file that contains a window with a button and a label (pusth the button and the label says Hello World)? Or if I am totally off base, some constructive thoughts would be appreciated. Have spent many hours learning as much as possible so I am not just looking for a freebie, just some help. Thanks for anything you can do! – Don
