I’m one of many web developers out there that run Windows and have downloaded and installed the Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 build (as well as the other CTP builds). Honestly, I don’t use a lot of the new features that have been included in IE7. But there is one feature that I’m loving, and [...]

I’ve just finished writing a new post for the Melbourne Metroblogging blog on ANZAC Day.

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.

Happy Chinese New Year to one and all. Have a safe, and prosperous year ahead. I hope the year ahead is a good one for one and all

Chris Tacke has posted a link to OpenNetCF’s Smart Device Framework 2.0 documentation. Chris also mentions in the same blog post that they are “extremely close to a beta release of SDF 2.0″. Cool, that is very good news for all those developing for Mobile Devices using CF.NET 2.0 in VS 2005. I’m definately looking [...]
