Now I understand completely.

Looks like one of the first versions have been released.  I’m excited for two reasons: 1) command-line build tools are always the most powerful tools, 2) I can use this to learn PowerShell!  :)

Anyway, thanks to James Kovacs!  I’m looking forward to trying it out!

So I’ve moved the blog to the top level.  We’ll see how that goes.

To fix this issue open up Skype Options (Tools > Options in the Menu) and select the “Connection” tab. There you will find a checkbox marked “Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections”.  Uncheck that box and you should be okay.

There aren’t very many good colour schemes on there yet. Seems like everyone has a black background instead of the standard white background. I made my theme based on the Textmate Theme for RadRails, adapted for the Visual Studio IDE. Consolas is a really great font!

The blog is humourously named Eric Will Code For Coffee! Yes, I laugh at my own cheesy jokes. :)

Coming soon I’ll write some posts about coding in ASP.NET, C#, and PHP as well as designing for ASP.NET with CSS – my favourite subject!
