Windows Mobile 2003 Connection Manager
Alan Jarvi has compiled a great reference for the Windows Mobile 2003 connection manager screens, located here. However, the reason I went looking for info was buried in screens not shown.

.Net 2.0 ObjectDataSource
One of the cooler features of Whidbey and the 2.0 framework is the ability to bind data directly to the Business Layer. In this article, I'll explain how this can be achieved simply, using the PDC bits. This is very cool, and will be enough to finally stop me from passing DataTables/Readers around through the layers (a big no-no).

Whidbey & Longhorn Project Name Restrictions
This is just a reminder that strange things can happen when you try to name a project with an existing class in the .NET framework. For example, for creating a new sample test project, I usually give it some sort of simple descriptor and put it in my HD's example code folder.

Longhorn, Future TV, and Obese Clients
From talks after the Newark Devdays conference, here's an article to hopefully break my blogger's block. This is my vision for how convergence hardware (between tv and pc), the internet, and the tv viewer seeking more could look in the future.

Let me know what you think.... or even better, get cable companies to think about offering services such as these.

ImageStack for Longhorn
Well, after a bit of time refactoring and ironing out some functionality issues, ImageStack for Longhorn Version A is on my downloads page (the file contains source code and binaries). This is an image browser that can be scrolled through with the mouse wheel, and zoomed with a mouse click. Change folders with the “Get Image Stack“ button.

Longhorn Animations and Timelines Part I
After a suggestion from DonXML, I left the world of manually starting up LengthAnimations bound to width and height properties of a Canvas control I had implemented via code, and took up the task of learning the Timeline object.

Longhorn (and XP, 2000, etc) Speed Burst
Well, while configuring my PC to try to get some speed benefits whenever possible I came across this cool little util from Intel, sitting on that disk of stuff that came with my PC (and got ignored after I repaved it), called Intel Application Accelerator.

Ex-Intel Architect Discussion
An anonymous reader posted this link. It's an hour-and-a-half discussion about the pentium / x86 chipsets by Architect Bob Colwell, of Intel fame given at Stanford. This is a very interesting movie, and a fun flick for anyone interested in the lower levels of PC architecture.
