Much like Hector Salamanca, I believe family is everything. I run and cycle sometimes, too. I spend the majority of my week days implementing a solution, or solving problems at a computer, aided by a trusty bag of almond m&ms.
Unity is a great tool from the patterns and practices team at Microsoft. Its an asset to loosely couple classes for different patterns and architectures.
After running into a snag with Unity, I decided to run through the demo available from the microsoft download. I have installed VS 2012 and love the new features.
Unfortunately, the 2008 demo has the old style configuration schema, which breaks when you reference the new Unity assemblies. After a few minutes of reviewing the documentation I got it t work. I will include the new format here in case anyone else needs it.
