Evernote 4 for Windows is here
Does not look good for .net or WPF mind.
"there were some problems we simply couldn’t fix: the blurry fonts, slow startup times, large memory footprint, and poor support for certain graphics cards were all issues that the technology behind 3.5 (Windows .net and WPF) was incapable of resolving. As a result, we ended up chasing down platform bugs rather than adding the great features our users wanted.
So we decided to start over from scratch, with fast, native C++ that we knew we could rely on. As you’ll see, the results are amazing. This new version will set a foundation for rapid improvement."

Separation of Concerns with Domain Events
A good post on using domain events to help with one of my favourite topics separation of concerns. I used to use events quite a bit with my model view presenter based websites and windows forms apps. A bit rusty now but still trying to keep my eye in.

My odd sql variable names
Tonight I was looking through some code looking for a snippet of SQL that I wrote ages ago that I quickly wanted to hack and modify for something I am working on when I came across this:
This wasn’t what I was looking obviously but it has made me chuckle.
