How have I managed to miss that LinqPad can diff arbitrary objects?

Every day a school day...

(and a tool that's well worth paying for - V9 out now)

The text-adventure nerd in me is very much looking forward to reading about the history of text games, having acquired:

Between this and the open-sourcing of Zork, it's good nerd times right now ;-)

The folks at #Sitecore are bringing back their developer survey this year, after a bit of an absence.

If you work with their tech, can you take five mins to fill it out and help them understand what you're doing and what you need?
