I have a big problem with launching firefox everytime I have 20 seconds of downtime (like when I'm building a big solution, or I'm waiting for a large file to load in my application). By the time I look at whatever site I decide to go to, it sucks up more than the 20 seconds of downtime and costs me a lot of time "context switching".

Something that has helped me with this problem: I took firefox off of my quick launch bar and put it on the desktop. I now have to be much more deliberate in when I actually need to use the "tubes".

I just read this excellent essay by Jeff Moser on his blog and thought I'd share it with all of you. I highly recommend it, especially for students who are interested in a career in software development.

Nitriq is a Code Analysis Tool for .Net Developers. It helps you visualize your code and quickly find types and methods that need refactoring.
It is currently in a free public beta, but will have reasonable prices once the bugs are worked out.
I'll be using this blog to talk about .Net, C#, WPF, ASP.NET, Nitriq and MicroISVs.
