Melanie and I decided to take a weekend off from snow riding and what happens? A Noreastern dumps in New England. Sunday River got 30 inches. Attitash received 24 new inches. Just our luck to miss the fresh powder once again.
Speaking of snowboarding, I finally posted new pictures from our recent Big Sky trip. And pictures from the Redneck Shindig are in the gallery as well. Enjoy.
I am pleased to announce the launch of the Hour Children web site. The site was funded through a service grant provided by the Taproot Foundation of which I am a volunteer.
Hour Children is a non-profit family service provider providing short- and long-term support to incarcerated mothers, ex-offenders and their children. It has been an awarding experience to use my skills for an organization that provides such loving care to mothers in need, to their children, and to the community.
After a long hiatus in releases, PhotoRoom Version 1.7 is finally ready for download. Big thanks go to Chris Lewis who made this release happen.
Although it is probably silly to apologize for not posting a new entity in over a month, I still feel compelled. So I apologize for not posting a new entity in over a month.
Whew, glad that’s over.
As you can probably guess, I have been busy over the last month. I wish I could say I had been spending all my time snowboarding and playing Xbox but I can’t. I’ve only spent a small amount of time on the slopes and behind the S-controller. And I’ve been catching up on episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Focus and Warren Miller TV too. But the majority of my time has been with White Peak Software.
I have been doing some exciting work over the last month which I hope to post more about in the coming days and weeks. For instance, I finally got around to learning how to use the MSI NAntContrib task as part of a build script, and I’ve been working with the PropertyGrid included in the .NET Framework.
All these ideas floating in my head, I just need to find some time to share them with others.
Ever wonder if you could use the System.Web.Caching.Cache object within a WinForm application? You can and my latest article on CodeProject.com shows how.
White Peak Software Inc is officially 1 years old as of today. It’s been a great year and we are looking forward to an even better second year.
As you can probably tell from the lack of postings to this blog, I have been busy over the last month. White Peak has new clients, which is where I have been spending most of my time. But I decided to take a break over the weekend and play Halo2.
Halo2 is awesome! The story line is captivating, the graphics are amazing, and game play is fun. Best of all, Halo2 is Xbox Live compatible. I started playing online last night with some friends. After our frag fest party I decided to continue playing in the rank matches. As expected, every player online is better than me. But what I really like about the online experience is what happens after you finish a game.
Bungie.net is tracking all the statistics from the online play, and players can view their stats as well as the stats of others through the Bungie.net web site. But it doesn’t stop there. Bungie.net also provides an RSS feed for individual player stats.
Beginning the geek that I am, I decided to add a new web part to my blog site that shows my Halo2 stats. You can view a summary in the side bar and view complete details from the halo2 page.
Now that break time is over, it’s time to get back to real work.
There was an interesting question on the help forum for PhotoRoom. I have been doing more and more with SharePoint over the last month and this idea really excites me. PhotoRoom for SharePoint. Sounds like a fun project to do. More to come soon.
