I was horrible about blogging from PDC2008. I did twitter and facebook a lot though, so I think I'm not too bad. I just found out about Microsoft's BizSpark program though. It's a lot like their Empower program in that it provides startups free development tools and MSDN subscriptions, however it's free to enter ($100 to get out though). Information can be found here. There are limits as to how long you can be in the program and how much your company can make, but it's supposed to be very easy to...
http://blog.wired.com/geekd... Babylon 5 was one of the best Sci-Fi shows EVAR! Well, except for about half of the 5th season, and the Thirdspace and River of Souls movies, but hey, you can't win everytime. Besides, they were still watchable, which is something George Lucas can't say. Thank you J. Michael. You ROCK! Dave
So, all my friends are doing it, so I thought I would too. Here is an arbitrary list someone came up with and (apparently) if you haven't read a goodly number of 'em, you're a moran [sic]. I've read (or listened to) the titles in bold, intend to read the titles in italics, and (here's a twist) watched those underlined. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2 The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee...
So, as usual, I'm apologizing for not updating my blog for a (long) while, but I've got a lot on my plate. So, here is what I'm working on right now. I've been planning a D&D application for a long time. I want to do something that no one has been able to do, capture ALL of the rules in code. Several people have tried, with varying degrees of success, but I've got some ideas that might make it a reality. I don't want to go into too much detail, but what I've started coding up looks very promising...
Things have actually started to pick up at work lately. Microsoft released a CTP of a new CAB replacement product called Acropolis. I've been tasked (along with a couple of coworkers) to design a business entity and its user interface using our newest best practices and the MVP pattern (I'm still learning MVP though). With the lack of new TV, I've been catching up on some TiVo'd over the last several months, and playing Disney's Cars on my Wii with my son. I've been reading a book on WPF by Charles...
Er, well, uh, so far, just the one way I suppose. I'm looking into other ways to edit this blog. I'd like to be able to hook MS Word (2003 or 2007) into the .Text blog system, or even Google docs, but I'm too busy to try it right now. If anyone has any real cool, techie way to do it, please post. I'm always up for the new and novel. Thanx in advance, Dave
