F# as a Unit Testing Language : I have been looking for a real world use for this language.  I like this idea.  I am going to have to pursue it.

Jellyfish Hints at Fix for Damaged Hearts - WSJ.com : This is pretty amazing.

Merchants Consider Credit Card Surcharges or Cash Discounts - NYTimes.com : I gave a discount for cash purchases for a while.  The customers complained constantly.  It was always the ones with credit cards.  I think most buying big tickets items with credit cards don't have the cash to buy them out right.  But I say for myself I would use the cash, not just for the savings, but I am more aware of my spending when I spend CASH.

Telerik Grid and Dynamic filtering Well let me say this is a tale of solving a problem for an existing system with poor test coverage.  Ok no test coverage.  No I didn't write it.  But yes I have to enhance it.  It isn't badly done code.  I mean there are places it could be improved.  Things I would have done differently.  New shining technologies we could and would use if it is was being done again but all in all it is straight forward and clean.  But it has no working tests, no comments.  I want to modify this code with minimal changes to minimize my risk and move on to more interesting things.  Oh did I mention the front end is built around Telerik.  You either love them or hate them.  For me it just depends on the problem but I usually just avoid them. Nice term what does it mean.... A grid with filtering drop downs: We want the filter drop downs with no selected filter value to filter the available options to only available choices based on other filters.

I was getting tired of adding and generating diagrams over and over again for my code first database. Usually when I am thinking this, someone else already has too. So I started poking around and found reference to Entity Framework Power Tools. Low and behold I could find it in the extension gallery using Visual Studio 2010. Once installed it is a right click away. Now I can see my database in a visual representation which for me is so much easier. Gilstrac
