  • Download all the PDC materials...

    This is my first post from NewsGator. Too bad it doesn't support categories. At any rate, this just came across my NewsGator feeds. Early & Adopter have written an app to pull down all the downloads from PDC-related sites and dump them to your hard drive. Man these guys are awesome. Take it away, guys!

  • Welcome to The Blogosphere!

    I was looking through my server referrer logs, compiling statistics for LonghornBlogs.com, when I came across referrers from ErinJoyce.com. I happened to sit next to Erin during the Day Two keynote at PDC, by random happenstance, and we had a couple really nice discussions after that. She's a very nice woman, and extremely informed. Can't wait to see what else she has to say. Subscribed!

  • Cause Everyone Likes Free Stuff

    I like free stuff. Most people do. The thing that I like even more than getting free stuff, is giving free stuff away. Thats why, for the rest of 2003, my company (Interscape Technologies) will be giving away a ton of free stuff. Every two weeks, we'll have another contest where we'll give something else away. That being said, I'm proud to announce the first giveaway:

  • My Motivation for Blogging

    I was right smack dab in the middle of a post about the latest “Ballmerisms” from another SteveB speech, when a most insightful e-mail arrived in my inbox:

  • Assembly Resource Viewer

    Need to see the resources in your assemblies? Look no further then ASMEX. Much better than DLL resource editors.. very helpful, ADN shows embedded files too, not just embedded icons.

  • I really thought I blogged more from PDC....

    Man, this past week just flew by. I really thought I had blogged more about it. There were a few times where I went to post from the Internet Alley, and I stepped away from the machine for a few seconds to talk to someone, and it automatically logged me out. Oh well, I'll give your aggregators a rest and bring the blogosphere up to speed on my exploits next week. I must say that it was probably one of the best experiences of my life, and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone that I did. I met some outstanding individuals that really have a passion for this stuff, and it was great to talk and share experiences.

  • The Tuesday of Randomness

    Yesterday may very well have been the coolest day of my life. It started out with a chance encounter with Erin Joyce, columnist for InternetNews.com. She wrote a killer article on blogging and Longhorn last week, and by pure chance, sat next to me at Eric Rudder's keynote. As Paschal pointed out, she quoted me for her article on WinFS. (I'll cut her some slack even if she got my company name wrong. That was quite interesting, and she's a really interesting lady.
