Functional C# - Implementing Async Computations in C# As I covered earlier in my post Functional .NET - LINQ or Language Integrated Monads, I talked about using asynchronous computation expressions (monads) from C# 3.0. Brian McNamara, of the F# team, posted back in May about using them from C#. But since then, things have changed slightly. Before, I showed a basic example of how to utilize the F# libraries from C#, but let's go deep under the covers to see how this actually works. Getting Started In order to make use of the F# libraries in our C# library, we need to add references to them. We need the following items: FSharp.Core.dll FSharp.PowerPack.dll FSharp.PowerPack.Linq.dll And then I need to open the namespaces in order to take advantage of F#: using Microsoft.FSharp; using Microsoft.FSharp.Control; using Microsoft.FSharp.Core; Referencing F# Classes As part of process of creating the asynchronous monad builders in C#, we need to create an instance of the F# c Codebetter.com Wednesday, October 15, 2008Cambridge Autonomous Underwater Vehicle The Cambridge Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, built for the SAUC-E Challenge, is a fantastic example of UAV construction. The competition is to build a UAV that can complete an underwater assault course. This baby has a full computer inside it, based off of the worlds smallest full featured x86 motherboard, the Pico-Itx. It has a 1GHz [...] Hackaday.com Wednesday, October 15, 2008dnrTV Episode #126: Roll-Your-Own IoC with Me My first dnrTV episode went live today. I am talking with Carl Franklin about dependency inversion, dependency injection, and inversion of control. I demonstrate how to build a very simple IoC container. My intent is to show developers that it isn't any thing crazy scary. I talk about how IoC facilitates decoupling dependencies and creating more easily testable software. Check it out! dnrTV #126: James Kovacs' roll-your-own IoC container Feedback is always welcome. Carl and I plan to do another show focused on IoC containers in the next few weeks. Specifically we'll be talking about what a full-fledged container offers over and above the roll-your-own. If you have other IoC questions you would like answered on the next show, drop me an email.

Instead of going the normal route, he modded it to be a Weird Sound Generator. The WSG is a popular kit sold by Music From Outer Space.

I went to the installation DVD and couldn't find sysprep. A quick google later and a bit of poking around revealed that sysprep is now installed by default on Windwos Server 2008. You can find it at: c:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sy... The experience is also streamlined considerably. Simply run sysprep.exe above and you are presented with: Change the Shutdown Options to "Shutdown" and click OK. The system will go through the sysprep process and shut itself down. You can now create cloned servers to your heart's content simply by creating linked servers and booting the clone as originally documented here.
