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 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!

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...
