The first month of 2008 came and went.
We've gone through 31 days of a new year so quickly, we barely had a chance to reflect on the past year due to piles of backlog tasks that seems to increase faster than we can keep up. It's a blessing and a curse.
Speaking of a curse, I was in the middle of debugging an application last night and was unable to find the Immediate Window in my VS2005 IDE. It had been there before; I sought for it in all of the menu and sub-menu items and couldn't find it. I still don't know what caused its disappearance. Perhaps it was a recent VS2008 IDE installation that might've affected the 2005 environment settings; perhaps others unknown reasons.
Suddenly, a simple thought sprang to mind : go to Tools/Customize/Debug and simply add it back-in to the menu bar and my shortcut toolbar. Et voilà! My indispensable Immediate Window returns; and all is well.
