Event Monger Delay

11 08 2006

SadfaceI’m sorry to announce that development on Event Monger (my BTC-FTC project) has been delayed until after the Australian Tech.Ed event (beginning of September).

Unfortunately I’ve been pretty busy over the course of the last month or so on various projects and whilst I’ve been on leave this week I haven’t really had the focused time I’ve required to sit down and tackle this project.

Event Monger has a relatively large scope in terms of the scenarios it needs to support to be useful, as such it breaks the BTC-FTC mold a little bit (which is ironic given that it was supposed to be the first cab off the rank).

So – my sincere apologies for the delay, once I start work on the project again I’ll post up here with progress reports.





I’m getting a Tablet PC.

LittleTabletPCGuyI’ve decided to get a Tablet PC as a second device, I’m not going to tell you what kind of device it is just yet because I don’t want to steal someone elses thunder, but I just had to blurt out that I’m getting one.

Ever since I first used a Tablet PC for a few weeks about four years ago I’ve wanted to get one, but the problem has always been finding one that meets my price/performance requirements.

This Tablet PC will actually function as my second device used primarily for things like OneNote and demonstrating the capabilities of WPF applications in the Tablet PC form factor.

On a somewhat related note, my wife has been very understanding of my obsession with mobile computing gadgets. I’m going to need to a buy her a REALLY BIG birthday present this year – any suggestions? She is into scrapbooking and beading.

P.S. Thanks to Long Zheng’s photostream for the glam shot of Tablet PC Guy.
