  • Displayport & AMD Radeon with latest Catalyst drivers

    Thanks AMD! The DisplayPort issue is fixed and no longer re-arranging windows across my monitors when I lock my screen! It seems as though my PersistentWindows utility is no longer necessary for ATI cards. I’ve just validated it on multiple machines and life is returning to normal with DisplayPort! Looking at the feedback from the…

  • Persistent Windows 1.0.7 released – NotifyIcon mingling with WPF

    Recently, I’ve been distracted from my pet projects due to various life events and also Diablo 3 – Season 2.

  • ** Update ** EntityFramework detecting complex type with database first

    Originally, I posted a question on StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21630431/entityframework-detecting-complex-type-with-database-first While we’re still not using complex types, we’ve worked out a mechanism to preventing our developers from breaking the autogenerated models when re-generating from the DB.

  • Persistent Windows 1.0.3 & CodePlex

    So I’ve updated yet another version of the PersistentWindows app, but this update is literally nothing but better logging, so that I can figure out what’s going on in various instances.

  • Persistent Windows 1.0.2

    Made a few changes that you can find in the release notes. What’s pretty awesome is that I posted this app as a solution in StackExchange’s Super user and it was well received by the OP. Enough, in fact where not only did he mark it as a solution, he also wanted to contribute in resolving the…

  • PersistentWindows 1.0.1 released

  • Persistent Windows 1.0 Released

    It is lean and nasty…. but it does the job. I’ve already got a few ideas to make it more convenient, but Diablo 3 calls my name. Check it out @ http://www.ninjacrab.com/persistent-windows/… Read the rest
