GotDotNet Workspaces, MVP's and long flights
Arrived in Seattle yesterday afternoon after approximately 20 hours of travel, dropped of my luggage (thank you luggage gods for allowing my luggage to safely arrive with me) at the Hotel (Red Lion on Fifth) and went straight off to MS Campus with Mitch, Darren, and Troy (and met Martin Granell there) to go have a look at the future of GotDotNet workspaces.

Cool Atlas Server Control
I have been running through the Atlas hands on labs provided by Microsoft lately and really sinking my teeth into Atlas. In a previous post, I showed some of the declarative syntax that Atlas uses and how I thought it was kinda similar to Indigo. Nikhil Kothari commented that its actually much closer to Avalon and XAML bindings which obviously makes a lot more sense, given they are both technologies targetted at the user interface.

Atlas declarative blocks
I have been playing with Atlas and running through the hands on labs. In lab 2, you create some 'Atlas declarative blocks' to associate async invocations with controls on your form and with a web service. It looks something like (from one of the labs) :-

Not long ago, a couple of days before TechEd actually, I posted about my XBox deciding to die for no obvious reason. Well I had 2 Xbox's so I butchered the good parts from one, and grafted them onto the other, and now I have a working Xbox again. My game collection is not totally lost.
