"Leave Startup Alone

Your app might be the centre of your world developing day and night – it’s not the centre of mine."

Damien’s also put together a lovely monospaced (fixed-width) font for programmers, Envy Code R, which can be downloaded here. As well as  regular and bold variants the font includes a full italic version too and the obligatory italic-as-bold hack to get italic syntax highlighting in Visual Studio. There is also a registry hack (for Windows) that allows you to use the font at your command prompt.

But a little gem that’s making the NHibernate experience a little easier is Stephen Bohlen’s excellent series of screencasts – “Summer of NHibernate”.

But you don’t just have to take my word for it, they also come highly recommended by Scott Hanselman.
