We are going to begin by downloading the Visual Studio 2010 express from Microsoft’s website so that we can get started on some C# development. After the file has been downloaded you will need to have a connection to the Internet so that the program can download the necessary files to complete the install. For the sake of customization we won’t walk through the rest of the install and will pick up with some add-ons that will make your coding experience easier.
With the Express edition now installed, it is good to know that the express editions of Visual Studio 2010 do not support extensibility. This means that the ability to install plug-ins and add-ons is not included. If you happen to acquire or have a full version of Visual Studio 2010 then the option is there for you to add these plug-ins that have helped me out in a tough spot before.

64 Studio Ltd. has created a Linux distribution for HörTech gGmbH to aid in research on hearing impairment and augmentation technology. "64 Studio was commissioned by HörTech to create a GNU/Linux real-time audio distribution, code-named Mahalia, optimized for the Lenovo Thinkpad X200 notebook. Giso Grimm of the Carl von Ossietzky-Universität Oldenburg explained: "We prefer to use ready-to-use Linux audio distributions over patching the kernel ourselves, since our expertise is in signal processing, not kernel development. When we were faced with the fact that our then favourite audio distribution failed to deliver stable real-time kernels for several releases, we asked 64 Studio to tailor us a customized distribution with a working real-time kernel that matched our specific needs and ran stable on the selected hardware.""

[Harvey] wrote in to share the Spindicator with us. The spindicator is a hard drive activity activity indicator built in a ring to resemble a dekatron. Using the pulses from the hard drive activity LED, [Harvey] tested several different methods of interpreting that data for display. The final version, negative edge triggered with a lowpass filter can be seen after the break. It is nice and smooth and vaguely reminiscent of many programs’ loading screens.
He has pictures and tons of detail on the project including videos of previous versions that acted quite erratically.

Google Wave is far from dead, and developers, early adopters and enterprises will be glad to hear it. Today Google announced it will expand on the code it has already open sourced, building Wave into a functional application that will allow users to run wave servers, host their own waves and build bigger and better applications with the real-time collaboration technology. "Since the beginning, it has been our vision that the Google Wave protocols could support a new generation of communication and collaboration tools," engineer Alex North wrote on the Google Wave developer blog. Sponsor Google had big plans for Wave - it was supposed to replace email and the killer app among Google Apps, but the company basically gave up on the project earlier this month (see Google Wave Is Dead). It still seems possible for the technology to do big things. But it sounds like Google plans to move on after the application is released. The future of the open source project will be defined by developers' contributions, North wrote. Wave In A Box will not have the "full functionality" of the Gmail-integrated Web app, but it will feature threaded conversations and support importing data from wave.google.com. The release of Wave as an application could be a big deal for developers, especially at businesses that want to take advantage of Wave for real-time collaboration and discussion (see our post, 5 Services That Leverage Google Wave). Wave was always intended for people to run on their own machines, but this release will make the process much easier. Developers and enterprise users that have been eyeing Wave will be more likely to take the technology into their own hands and build things like feature-rich Web forums, productivity tools and apps to facilitate collaborative projects. Google did not specify a timeline for the release of the new code, but it has said that wave.google.com will be available at least through the end of the year. Discuss
If youve seen Danny Boyles movie Sunshine, you may be a little disappointed: NASAs mission to visit the Earths Sun wont include sending people up there. But it will be sending a spacecraft into the Suns atmosphere, approximately four million miles from its surface. The project, called Solar Probe Plus, is slated to launch sometime before 2018.Four million miles doesnt sound very close, but its still very exciting, since this is a region no other spacecraft (created by us) has ever encountered. NASA plans for the project to unlock the suns biggest mysteries.Although the spacecraft will be relatively far from our stars surface, its carbon-composite heat shield will have to withstand intense radiation, as well as temperatures exceeding 2550 degrees Fahrenheit.The experiments selected for Solar Probe Plus are specifically designed to solve two key questions of solar physics why is the suns outer atmosphere so much hotter than the suns visible surface and what propels the solar wind that affects Earth and our solar system? said Dick Fisher, director of NASAs Heliophysics Division in Washington.Weve been struggling with these questions for decades and this mission should finally provide those answers, said Fisher.[Image credit: NASA]More About: mission, NASA, space, spacecraft, sun, SunshineFor more Tech coverage:Follow Mashable Tech on TwitterBecome a Fan on FacebookSubscribe to the Tech channelDownload our free apps for iPhone and iPad
