DevDays was definately worth the wait.  I had a wonderful time learning about security in web applications as well as a brief intro into SmartClients. 

Well its about 2:30, and I'm packing up my laptop (well not really because I'm using it to write this blog post) to head on out of Bloomington and travel up to Chicago for DevDays tomorrow.  Glad to see that a few of us have gotten in contact about a meetup to eat/drink afterwards tomorrow.  If your heading to DevDays, Chicago - stop on by Rock Bottom Brewery afterwards!  Jeff Key, Adam Kinney, Erik Porter and myself (along with my coworker) will be there having a good time.  I'll probably be able to check my email a few times tonight, so if you wanna meet up, drop me a line and I'll give you my cell phone number.

I know Jeff and Adam threw out their plea (is it really a plea?) for attendees of the DevDays, Chicago event next Wednesday, but I really haven't heard back from either of them about a possible meetup before/during/after DevDays.  So, if you're going to DevDays, Chicago on March 10th, shoot me an email.  I'd like to meet anyone and everyone there!

Well, its not a direct post from Scoble, but its pretty darn close, maybe I'll get a straight link from Scoble one of these times :)  Though, I would like to mention that I'm not affiliated with NewsGator, and the NNTP Plugin is not suppored by NewsGator. Thanks Scoble!

Last night hosted our first "real" meeting for the Central Illinois .NET User Group based out of Bloomington, IL.  I say "real", because every meeting prior to last night, were just brief get-to-know-you meetings, and discussions on what we'd like the group to do.

I've received multiple comments on why I developed WebDeploy rather than just using XCopy or VS.NET's inherint "Copy" tool.  I just wanted to take a brief moment to share why WebDeploy was built:

Version 1.0 of the NewsGator NNTP Plugin to allow posting to newsgroups has been released. This version includes instant notification of updated versions, as well as refinement of the sending username and email per the RFC spec.  This version solves the 441 error, where you may receive a message saying your email address doesn't conform to internet standards.
