Wow, Hugo Ortega has been awarded the title of Australia’s first Tablet PC MVP (though, I’d always thought Doc. Neil was the first. But, apparently not!). Anyway, congratulations to Hugo! A much deserved award to a very dedicated Tablet PC advocate. I still remember about a year ago, Hugo left a comment on a post [...]

Looks like there’s now an Aussie Blogs Index underway and has listed about 764 active Australian blogs. Don’t really know too much about it at this stage, aside from being a listing of Australian blogs. I think there will always be more Aussie blogs out there, than listed on any such list. Question is though, [...]

Looks like Google just keeps on growing. Michael Still mentioned in his blog that he’s moving to Mountain View to join Google. Wow! Another smart Aussie aus-dotnet’ter moving to a big company in the US. He’s probably best known for keeping an archive of the aus-dotnet mailing list on his linux server at home Let’s [...]

Saw Morfik mentioned in a recent blog entry at the Ajaxian.com blog, and have finally had a bit more of a look. First thing? Had a look at their About Morfik page. What did I see? Morfik is located in Hobart, Australia. Wow, innovation from that little island just south of Melbourne (And we share [...]

From Andrew Coates’ blog: Aus-DotNet List moving Mail Servers I just spoke to Dr Pete (Stanski), who runs the Aus-DotNet mailing list and, as per his note to the list a couple of days ago, he’s moved the list to a new ISP and a new server. It seems like the propagation of the MX [...]

I’m presenting this month at the newly formed Victoria .NET User Group (that’s MDNUG+AusDev+Victoria.NET Cluster). http://www.victoriadotnet.com.au/index.aspx?link_id=84.459 My talk is on Ajax and apart from the general Ajax stuff, i’ll be talking about how to make use of it in ASP.NET applications. This will be my first presentation at the user group and my first proper [...]

Following on Michael Still’s lead, I decided to do a remix of the Tech Ed Flair as well. Ok, here’s my entry below… Was just something I whipped up quickly. Seriously though, how many Tech Eds can the Channel 9 guy get to in a year?

It’s now been a few months since I’ve joined the Melbourne Metroblogging team (RSS), but i’m still there and blogging. (If you don’t see me blogging here, there’s a chance that i’ll probably be posting on the Melbourne Metroblog!) We’re currently looking for more bloggers to get involved in our Melbourne blog, which is a [...]

I admit i’ve given this a little thought, but not too much. But i’m sure i’m not the only one with this viewpoint. There’s not enough choices when it comes to blogging engines based on ASP.NET. There’s ComminityServer’s blogging engine. And there’s dasBlogs, and then there’s a few other ones people have written themselves for [...]

About to fall asleep right now, but briefly skimmed over this blog post by Senator Andrew Bartlett. (Just posting this so i’ll re-read it again when i’m more awake.) He’s done a bit of a breakdown of John Howards’ interview on ABC Radi0′s AM program. I’ll admit I haven’t really been following this issue too [...]
