I wasn’t lucky enough to receive the Acer 1420P laptop given out at PDC this year since I was “staff”, however I wound up picking one up on eBay for a very reasonable price. I received it last week, added an additional 2GB of RAM, used my Windows Home Server… read moreMulti-touch Madness Slides and Code

Thanks to everyone who attended my TVUG session last night! I have uploaded the slides and code for this session which can be downloaded here.

Another PDC is over and I’m happily relaxing before work starts again on Monday. Lots of announcements, free laptops for attendees (not me, sadly), and plenty of time spent in our Coding4Fun area with my project.

October 25 2009
It appears the fantastic Waegis spam filtering site used to block blog comment spam has been down for over a month as the author tries to find hosting and figure things out. Sadly, that leaves a lot of Community Server users with no decent comment spam blocking solution since… read moreOctober 24 2009
