Last Post: The Web is the new Terminal: Are you using the Web's Keyboard Shortcuts and Hotkeys?

NUI is OUI, Dear Reader. About eight years ago I blogged about "text mode" and said (if I may be silly and quote myself): "I’m just saying that my Tab,Tab,Tab,Enter will beat your Click,Tab,Alt-F,O,Click,Double-Click, more often than not." - Me I like to look at the computer systems of the businesses that I visit on a regular but spaced apart basis over the course of years.

Last Post: ObjectDisposedException in Entity Framework

Having just help another developer with this issue, I thought I’d write a quick post about the cause of the ObjectDisposedException exception when working with Entity Framework.
