Does anyone know anything about Mix07 coming up in April? I'm curious who one would contact about session information. I tried using an email address from the www.mix07.com site but of course it gets returned. Anyone at MS have any contacts they can forward my way? I'd apprecaite the help.

A celebration video of the Zune
In celebration of the Zune now working on Windows Vista I put together a little video last night. I actually filmed this back on November 14th, the day I got my Zune, I just hadn't taken the time to do anything with the video until last night while I was waiting for my Zune to fully Sync with Vista.

Something new from Flickr?
I emailed Flickr the other day asking if there were other options for their Accounts. I have a Pro account which allows me to upload 2gigs of photos a month. That may sound like alot, and most months it can be for me, but this month I got married and went on our honeymoon, so I knew I'd be posting a lot of photos, both from the wedding and the honeymoon.

Vista Release Installed at home
Well, I spent most of the day today doing a few things around the house. First, I took the good wheels off the Tahoe and put the stock wheels and tires back on. I figured that with Winter upon us I'd rather leave the shiney wheels down in the basement.

Implemented Captcha to stop the CommunityServer spam
I don't care what anyone says about the Spam Rules engine in Community Server. It may work partially, but it sure isn't great. I got nearly 200 spam messages yesterday on ChrisHammond.com, and I'd estimate 1500 over the past 7 days.
