This is a lot of fun, easy to play (but not easy to play WELL on higher difficulty settings), as well as possible to play while walking on the treadmill or riding the exercise bike.

Especially like the antics of the pros ... occassionally they'll start limping after hitting a bad shot, etc.

Filing this away so I can revisit at a later date. See: http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/10-top-iphone-apps-it-pros-045?page=0,0&source=IFWNLE_nlt_mobilehdwr_2009-12-30 for a short list of usefull IT apps for the iPhone.

Just came across this error ... had my portal's password settings setup in web.config, but Dynamic Registration was still expecting the default 7 character password. A quick search on Google yielded the following solution (Dyn Registration has a field for this variable): http://www.datasprings.com/Products/ProductForums/tabid/727/view/topic/postid/1189/Default.aspx.

Instructions here! Very nice tutorial, implemented in about 15 minutes.

78 Aces ... and he still loses the match ... unbelievable display from Ivo Karovic and Radek Stepanek.

And it works for "regular" .net sites as well. See: http://www.metanous.be/boblog/post/Getting-BlogEngineNET-within-a-DotNetNuke-website.aspx for the complete text ... simple, add the code to the parent web.config, then configure the BE.net folder as an application in asp.net ... done!

Check out Commentor (http://rtur.net/blog/post/2009/02/16/Commentor-e28093-new-version.aspx), an extension to help BlogEngine.net deal with the flood of comment spam that usually appears after one enables commenting for a site.

I've been working with Telerik's RadTools set of components for over 2 months, and keep finding new things to like. Stuff that used to take me hours to code in Classic ASP I can now accomplish in under an hour.

For example, I can setup a SQL Datasource, drop in an instance of RadGrid, bind it to the datasource, and presto ... I have an editable grid. Add features like sorting and grouping, it really makes things easy!

Nice article on ZD regarding XP vs Vista vs Win7 performance. Once I get some downtime, I'll probably be re-formatting my main machine (perhaps bumping up the RAM) to Win7 from XP.

Anyway read the article at: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2355703,00.asp.

Just completed stage one of developmenmt for the ADK Product Safety Directory, located at: www.adksafetyinfo.com. This site marks my fond farewall to all things classic ASP, as I've (finally) made the leap to ASP.NET.

ReadWriteWeb posted an interesting article on Twitter usage stats ... see more at: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/as_facebook_ages_gen_y_turns_to_twitter.php.

Who knows, this might actually work! Go to: http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Access/Microsoft-Access-2010-Demo/ to see a neat demo on "web-ifying" Access 2010 apps, without messing with asp or asp.net.

(I'll still continue slogging forward with my .NET development efforts, however)

Hopefully they'll devote some resources to this ... anyway, read more at: http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=139199.

Just read an interesting discussion on the future of libraries ... the author thinks that they'll transform into decentralized, sparsely staffed (I agree) ... basically glorified study areas. Read the article at: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/09/24/libraries.
