Last weekend, during a search for something completely different, I stumbled upon a blogpost of Frederik Gheysels, which nicely explains how to do Aspect Oriented Programming compile-time using PostSharp.
Nice. Very nice.
Needless to say I was playing with PostSharp for the rest of the weekend…
Several people have sent me mail about the drivers for the Texas Instruments card reader in the Sony VAIO VGN-NR11Z/s. The link I supplied in the previous post doesn’t work anymore.
However, there is hope. Here is a new working (for now…) link 
First, a picture:
Windows XP installs quite nice on my new notebook. For reference (and the rest of the World 
) here is the process:
First, download the Intel Storage Driver Floppy Creation tool for the 965GM chipset. Extract the file (I used WinRAR) so you get an .exe file. Next extract that file as well, (again I used WinRAR) to retreive the floppy image. Mount the image as a virtual floppy disk.
Next, use nLite to integrate the text-mode drivers from the floppy into a Windows XP cd. I also slipstreamed Service Pack 2 and the following drivers:
Boot the CD and install Windows XP
To support the SD-card and the Memory Stick Pro Duo reader install these drivers from Lenovo.
Stuff that doesn’t work (yet?):
The volume controls (and mute) fn-fn combinations work out of the box.
I had Windows Vista on my new notebook, but I don’t like Vista. Feels like it wants to control to much and I lost control. Or am I a controlfreak?
Anyway, Vista -> exit, XP enter. The good old XP (of course with the Classic theme). Lightningfast and I know what happens.
Now. Reinstall 2. I’ll be back.
Bought a new notebook (Sony VAIO VGN-NR11Z/S) so I’m reinstalling my development tools. Updates to the various project are a little delayed.

As a basis for the BTree to be used in the Object Database, I have written a generic BTree class in C#.
Since there are (almost) no examples of a BTree class in C# on the Internet, I decided to open the code to the community.
Have fun, and don’t complain if it’s broken, but send me a fix
[update 15:15]
Implemented ICollection and IEnumerable.
