Yesterday I ran across the "/span" and "/f" command line switches for the Microsoft remote desktop client (mstsc.exe; I typically use the command line for this) and wanted to pass them along.

e.g. to remote desktop into a server named "myServer" from the command line and get the RDP client to span dual monitors in full screen mode:

mstsc /v:myServer /span /f

If you use the /? switch to see all the command line arguments, I see there are also width and height settings…

Hope you find this useful!

Sitting in Neil Iverson's Powershell presentation right now; I need to learn A LOT more about this!

My presentation went well (hopefully the attendees agree!). Here is a link to my deck and code. It will also be available at the http://www.twincitiescodecamp.com web site once I send it to Jason Bock.

Thanks to all for attending my WCF 3.5 talk. It was a great session with good questions and interaction I hads a blast! I'll be video-taping Jason's presentation next (Writing Better Code).  He included one of my favorite anti-paterns "try-catch-eat" (as seen previously on this blog).  Should be a good talk!

Cheers

I just got a chance to fire up Rock Band tonight for the first time in a couple weeks (getting ready for Code Camp) and noticed that the online music store is finally integrated into the game! This made it SUPER EASY to go grab a new title (I highly recommend My Iron Lung by Radiohead, the guitar riffs are awesome), re-download prior purchases, preview the song…much better than trying to do it from Xbox Live Marketplace…Nice work!

Rock on!

Code Camp Twin Cities 4 is coming to a favorite Twin Cities suburb near you!

Ok, seriously, the event is sold out (which is funny as it is free J) but sold out *is* sold out! I'm taking out 3 minutes of my preparation time to blog about it (no, my presentation is NOT done, yet…).

I will be posting more information about Code Camp…so stay tuned!

cheers

The "Organize Usings" -> "Remove and Sort" context menu command. Ok, yes, it is a bit anal and pet peevish of me, but extra code/using directives make me feel 'unclean" J
