I wouldn't post this if I hadn't tried it... and I paid for it myself, so don't anybody be thinking I'm reviewing something someone sent me! Long ago and far away I got very tired of local ISPs and 2nd phone lines and took the plunge and got hooked up to cable... yeah I know the 2nd phone line concept may be hard for everyone to understand, but that's how it was in 'the old days'. To avoid having to change email addresses all the time, I decided to buy a domain name, get minimal hosting, and use ......
It's just past the first of December, but I've been busy and it's now time to recognize devs that have a large number of posts in Silverlight Cream. Ground Rules I pick what posts are on the blog Only posts that go in the database are included The author has to appear in SC at least 4 of the 6 months considered I averaged the monthly posts and am only showing Authors with an average greater than 1. Here are the Top Posted Authors at Silverlight Cream for June 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010: It ......
Anyone reading this knows I go by the AKA "WynApse". I've used it since Windows was a puppy, we still had "DOS Apps" and "Win Apps", and I needed a business name for selling my shareware. I only re-state that obvious because I want to make it clear that you're only going to see me on a forum with that name. That being said, you may or may not have not noticed, but I don't visit the forums. I don't because there are folks that seem to camp out there that are way better suited to answer questions than ......
I can't pass up passing this along even though it's not Silverlight or WP7 or Lightswitch or ... One thing I've been dealing with is the 'Edit top 200' rows thing in SQL Server 2008, and have just been dealing with it for a few weeks since I uninstalled everything else in favor of this full-up. Well, Senthil Kumar has instructions on how to modify that sucker... I didn't even *think* to look around... figured it was baked in... awesome post, Senthil! SQL Server 2008 – Change Edit Top 200 Rows and ......
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 running Vista that I think from the beginning had the Wandering Mouse problem that various people on the interweb have complained about. A few notes before I say what my solution was: I do NOT have that stupid little goober between the G and H key I do NOT rest my hand/finger/or part thereof on the touchpad The touchpad is a small contained area, no large touch areas In the original setup, I had no control over the touchpad either, which sort of surprised me. My solution? ......
I had reason to meet up with someone I don't see very often a bit ago. In the course of the conversation, he told me he bought an iPad. I don't know if I was expected to ooh and ahh, but I didn't. After he finished saying how cool it was and how much he and his wife liked it, I commented "no Flash and no Silverlight" after which followed this: Him: "You don't need it, HTML5 can do everything Flash and Silverlight does" Me: "Wait... you're telling me that the iPad converts existing Flash content into ......
I'm going to be in 'Vegas for the Launch on Monday, I'm not sure what time I'm getting in on Sunday, but I'm staying over Monday night as well, so if you're going to be around in that time-frame, send me an email! Bummer to not be there for Silverlight on Tuesday, but hey... watching Scott Guthrie is always worth the drive :) ......
Last night's Silverlight User Group meeting in Phoenix went really well. We had about 15 in attendance, and everyone seemed engaged with Joel Neubeck's great Windows Phone 7 presentation. When it was over, we gave away a couple copies of Windows 7 Ultimate, one copy of the Expression Suite, an Arc Mouse, a web cam, a bunch of books, other assorted software and some TShirts. All-in-all I think it was a good time had by all. Thanks to Joel Neubeck for the time and presentation and to Joe's mom for ......
Maybe this concept is simpler for me because of all the jobs I've been on over the years requiring security clearances. I've signed quite a few NDA forms. Some for big companies, some for small, but the meaning of "NDA" remains constant: Non-Disclosure Agreement. To me, that takes no further explanation, but apparently it's confusing to some people, and I don't understand how you can be confused. The papers I signed with the U.S. Army in 1970 read "10 years and $10,000" for a violation... can't imagine ......
In case you're coming to the party late, and maybe try to read an older post of mine about this... Apparently the rules have changed just a bit. When you "Add a new blog" at BlogMailr, you're going to want to use the following credentials: Web Address of your blog: http://geekswithblogs.net/&... BLOG NAME> In the past this was presented a bit differently, and apparently you need to generate a new one to make the magic work. The jury is still out on if they've blocked posting to GWB from here, ......
