About the bad highlighting...

This is quite an old blog, 3 or 4 years old actually, so the design, the highlighting... it's all dated.

I am currently working on a new blog which will be hosted over at my personal website, which will be much fancier and easier to use, interact and read from. Everything will be migrated over with links preserved though.

Update: new blog is now live over at http://www.adamkdean.co.uk and the highlighting is much nicer!

Visual Studio Tools for Git

Visual Studio now has an extension to let you work with Git right from within Visual Studio. It looks pretty awesome and I can't wait to try it out. Once I get it to work.

"The Visual Studio Tools for Git is an extension for Team Explorer that provides source control integration for Git.  This extension enables integration with any local Git repository, and it provides tools to work with third party hosted Git repositories. The extension also enables the use of Team Foundation Service hosted Git projects."

For a preview of what is available, check out the video here:
