St. Louis DotNet User Group Meeting
So I went to the St. Louis .Net user group meeting after work this evening, two months in a row now! It was definitely an interesting presentation from Denny Boynton. He was talking about Software + Services, rather than SaaS. It was a good talk, but the thing I got most out of it, was the desire to go develop games for my Zune!
So I am downloading XNA Game Studio 3.0 CTP to see what all I can break on my Zune. So far I am loving the hack I performed on the car stereo this weekend. Basically I jacked into the Audio feed for the CD player (in the oem head unit) and wired up an auxiliary input. I love having my Zune once again playable in my ride, the FM Transmitter I had sucked so it was pretty much worthless in the Corvette.
Now, I guess I will finish the download/install of XNA then see what I can make it do, before I head off to play some Counter-strike before bed. I'm glad to be back into the Counter-strike world, and QODA will have a server again soon!
Update: XNA doesn't work properly on 64bit, I guess I will have to try on my laptop later this week
