Seattle Code Camp 2008 is once again held at the DigiPen campus. I never got around to recapping the one held earlier this year (v3.0) but have recaps of v2.0 here and here.

Check it out at: https://seattle.codecamp.us/default.aspx.

With so much press already here, here and here, it should be interesting to see just how much “value add” there is. Sure, the claim to V8 JavaScript Engine is appealing but how is this for ubiquity?

Another company did it bottom up several years ago as we now witness it being done top down.

An Old and A New Thing in Windows Server 2008

In about a month, Windows Server 2008 will RTM. With Windows Vista, we've become familiar with the more modern looking Event Viewer. And for Windows Server 2008, the event viewer is also updated. However, if you check out your DNS Manager Global Logs in 2008, the event log dialogs retain the 2003 look and feel. Guess they never got to it and is no more than a fun quirk. In any case, looking forward to this immense release and not simply for the IIS7 web server environment. Although, they did recently release a web migration and replication tool for IIS7. More here.

It appears that I've been staring at Windows products too much lately and noting quirks. The next upcoming post will be quirk free...I hope :)
