I just realized that some recent site changes look okay on most browsers, but are not showing correctly on IE6. This is affecting my new site skin and the skin for a new project. CSS is nice, but the browser testing can be a real pain.
I tried some site testers but this one did not return the results before they expired them! http://browsershots.org
Maybe I will learn some new cool Agile Tricks at DevTeach for handling this testing, or get another push to move to SilverLight!

Boy, how time flies. Planning is underway for the 2008 Open Force Conference. It will be in Las Vegas again with Dev Connections, and is sure to be bigger and better than last year.
Cambria bits are sure to be out by then and the DNN framework and modules should have some .net 3.5 goodies.
Here are the abstracts that I submitted. I hope to be there again this year. Will you ?
A Tale of Two Blogs – Comparing DNN’s Blog with SubText
Open Source projects provide the unique ability to download the source code for the projects and see how things are implemented. Developers can learn a great deal from looking at the source code of these projects. This includes Dot Net, ASP.NET, the DotnetNuke Framework, and techniques for the development process, building and testing applications. This session focuses on the architecture of the DotNetNuke Blog Module is, how it leverages the DNN framework, and how it is being changed as part of the Cambrian Project. Comparisons to another open source Blog...

How can you argue with the color of money, or a golf course in the spring time ?
I used a template from www.oswd.org called simply_green, it was developed by a 17 year old student to revamp the look of walkspoiled.com.
Now I plan to get some time on the local course, Sterling Farms in Stamford.

Mix08 is in the books, and crowds are headed out for Vegas adventures.
Scott Gu started it off and dressed up for the keynote as usual.
There were a number of cool demos, hard to believe that AOL could breathe life into email, but with Silverlight2, well, they did!
But the best for me continues to be the Hard Rock's wall of memorabilia.
Time to go download and check out the new WPF and Silverlight bits :)

A simple Virtual Earth module has been posted on the downloads section.
It basically shows how to wire up a special javasscript onload event that you put in your module ascx file.
The simple steps to start are:
1) Create a Module and put javascript in to reference Microsofts VE library
2) create a div that will will hold the Virtual Earth Map
3) Add the Javascript onload Function that will create and dsiplay your map
var map = null;var lat = 41.500548;var lon = -72.206397;var zoom = 12;function myOnPageLoad()new VEMap('myMap');new VELatLong(lat, lon), zoom, "r", false);
4) on your modules onload event wireup your onload event from the ascx file
DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.
DNNClientAPI.AddBodyOnloadEventHandler(Page, "myOnPageLoad();");

It has been dormant to long, walkspoiled with no Golf Information!!!
I have a bunch of data and all of the algorithms for building a golf Leauge DNN module.
I had one back in the DNN 3 days, but it was never cleanly packaged.
Please drop me a comment if you are interested in a Golf leauge Module for use or for helping with the development.
We would use subsonic as the DAL.

I got this from one of the chain mail gang..OK Bill, I am sharing it
A scene you will probably never get to see, so take a moment and
enjoy.This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest
point.And, you also see the sun below the moon.
An amazing photo and not one easily duplicated. You may want to pass
it on to others.The Chinese have a saying that goes something like this:
"When someone shares with you something of value, you have an
obligation to share it with others!"

I just got an email from Sunil who I met at MIX07. He thought that he recongized me from the Scott Gu, MVC presentation at ALT.NET in Austin.
Well yes that was me sitting up with the Gu. It was a packed session at ALT.NET and the crowd was very pleased with what they saw. I was quite surprised as Scott Hanselman held a small camera for most of the presentation.
It amazes how much I was able to get involved in this past year:
- MIX07
- A number of Code Camps and User Group Presentations. NYC, Boston, Philly, Westchester
- JP's Training Class - Nothing But DotNet Training class
- Meeting Rob Conery in Kauaui
- DEVconnections and presenting at OpenForce
- Completing a 1 YR consulting Project and leaving with highly satisfied users
- Starting a new project with the goal of introducing, CI, TDD, DDD, and..MVC!
