Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

Eric posted a new beta of SlickRun (just got around to noticing). I wish SlickRun has the same version check in Fiddler (hint hint Eric). I like the new Ctrl+f to insert a file name. SmartPaste is also great.
v3.9.2 Beta (16 Dec 2005) + Autocomplete of filenames as parameters to MagicWords + Hit CTRL+F or CTRL+I to insert filename(s) in command line + ESC (or ESC,ESC) activates last active window instead of no window + Added SmartPaste (trims pasted text, removes crlf,etc) + Prompt before "Undo changes" in Jot + _STARTUP MagicWord executes on startup + _DISPLAYCHANGE MagicWord executes on display resolution change + New NoMouseActivation setting in [General] section of SlickRun.ini for those who don't want to be able to Activate Slickrun via click
Anyway, I was just recently re-inspired to how killer SlickRun really is. I finally got around to binding Windows-R to SlickRun.
Currently I'm down to using SlickRun + Launchy for my launching needs. I like Launchy cause it allows me to get to my folders/applications without having to create magic words. Plus it's purty.
