  • More on our Kiosk Application. Dynamically loading a form based on your config file.

    As in a previous post, I discussed a Kiosk framework that myself and Derek Walters ( another dotnet geek ( and a very smart one at that ) ) licensed to Cox Communications for the rollout of their kiosk bill paying solution in several cities around the country. Since the Kiosk application is a touch screen application, its flow between screens is very structured; however, during the development of a working application we needed an approach that enabled us to dynamically change how the screens flowed.

  • How can I write for MSDN

    It has always been an aspiration to write for MSDN magazine as well as some of the other popular Microsoft based publications. I have a great deal of respect for many of the authors and the publication itself. Much of the content is precise and demonstrates real world approaches to situations we all face as Microsoft architects and developers.  I have a great deal of experience writing but most of my experience has been writing white papers for a software vendor in the Atlanta market as well as various papers I wrote while getting my masters at Emory University.

    The tool has been out for a little bit and I enjoy the tool because it enables me to garner further insight into how a piece of code works; however, in some ways it scares me because the concept of a "company secret" is now circumspect. Also, I can clearly see its use in converting from vb.net to c#.

  • eBay Humor

    Always in search of a good joke. A friend of mine sent me this "eBay Humor" and I thought I would share it with everyone. If you have a few moments, it is definately worth a quick read.

  • Kiosk Software

    Just heard from my brother-in-law in Rhode Island that a friend of his paid his Cox Communications Cable Bill via a Touch-Screen Kiosk that I helped build.

  • More on .Net Generics

    Found this paper from Microsoft Research via a Google search. It goes into detail about the proposed specification for .Net Generics. It was written in September of 2002. So if anyone has anything more current, I'd appreciate an email.
