It was a great time at the Hartford Code Camp. Thanks to the people that attended the TDD with Dotnetnuke session. The questions and interaction were very helpful. The slides can be found here. I will post the code samples if anyone is interested. Remember that the TDD templates testdrivendnn for DNN on Codeplex, will only work with the upcoming Cambrian release, aka DNN 5.0 Have fun!

CTDOTNET CodeCamp - Hartford CT (Saturday Aug 16th 9AM-5PM)
To be held at New Horizons Computer Learning Center (Bloomfield CT) http://www.newhorizons.com/content/centerSearchResults.aspx?SiteId=25
A code camp is a FREE, community-driven, all-day event for developers. Speakers are local or regional developers. Topics are based on community interest. Sessions are original and feature a heavy technical focus (no marketing fluff). We will follow the Spirit of the Codecamp Manifesto as described here - http://www.thedevcommunity.org/codecamps/manifesto.aspx
We are seeking talented .NET developers to make a presentation or two at the First Hartford CodeCamp on August 16th (Saturday). If you have ever wanted fame (& perhaps fortune) - this is...

During my recent vacation to Monaco, I made some blog posts with photos to share with friends and family. My brother had some trouble with the blog summary feature and it was not easy to see that clicking on the Blog Title would bring up the entire blog post and ... more pictures.
He suggested that I just post the pictures to flcker, but that is to easy! As I have been reading a JQuery book, it was a good time to see what could be done to create a slide show or just share some pictures with some custom development.
I saw a number of add ins built using JQeury, so I figured that was a good place to start, going slow and integrate someone else's work. There was a really nice photo display module called Galleria. It shows thumb nails that are click-able to show the full image in another section on the screen. The thumb nails are generated on the fly. I had a DNN version working but the thumb nail placement was not working in FF, it was okay in IE 7. I lost the battle with the CSS and generated html. So much for JQuery handling the differences in browsers for you...It can handle the DOM abstraction, but can not save you from the CSS/HTML differences.

The Monaco trip is winding down. We had an amazing time on Sunday celebrating dad's birthday. We started with a trip aboard Paul's rib style boat. Perfect for a nice short trip. We sailed along the coast in the photo that my father is standing in front of here. It was better in real life!

After a swim down the coast, we came back to a great spot on the beach. Here is a shot as we were leaving, and my dad coming back after a swim. Kevin and Paul needed to give him a helping hand.

The original PGC Golf program written in DNN 3 was lost when I switched ISP hosts and decided to upgrade to DNN 4.0. That along with the league not being active any longer, led to it's demise. I found an old backup of the application and DB, so decided to install it to see what it looked like.
Boy is it ugly, from an UI presentation perspective and also from an application perspective. I shoe-horned logic into the stored procedures and code behind to get the application running for the start of the 2005 Golf season, and well, phase 2 never came...
But I like the data and the idea of a Golf Module, so this will be the basis for a redesign in .net 3.5.
Here are some of the screen prints to show the starting point, the bar is awful low for improving the UI!!!

What a great place to enjoy yourself. Everyone here is having fun, either vacationing, or spending money planning their next vacation!
We got a quick tour of a brand new Yacht getting ready for it's first work. The rooms are larger than many entire apartments. Most people's yearly salaries could not charter the boat for 2 days. The captain and crew were very friendly showing off their new vessel.
Earlier in the day I took my Father on a walking tour to the casino at Monte Carlo and then up to the Palace and the Oceanographic Museum. Pop was a real trooper as he climbed the many stairs, one at a time, with breaks!

An exciting new feature is coming to the standard Blog Module for Dotnetnuke in the very near future. The Blog Team is putting the finishing touches on a number of great enhancements, including support for the metablog API, and enhanced SEO support. So this is the first post for walkspoiled.com using Windows Live Writer. Might as well test with a photo as well from the Monaco Trip. My brother Kevin and Dad enjoying a game of chess from the terrace of his flat.

My Brother Kevin highlights some of Monaco's landmarks as we prepare to do some touring (we were getting the newspaper so Dad could do the word Jumble).
Kevin has been in Monaco for over 6 years and I finally made it here to visit.
Today we go to Italy for the weekend. Very Nice!

www.lisafaski.com went live today with a template from www.freecsstemplates.org.
Lisa picked out the template and the site went up pretty quickly.
See is happy with the first draft and now we can add some pages and content.
Hopefully it will be a busy summer for Lisa!
