Free Office Developer Conference 2008 Pass

Hi everyone.

Tonight, @ the Atlanta Dot Net User Group meeting, we will be giving away a pass to the Office Developer Conference in San Jose from February 10-13.

I know this is late notice, since the meeting is tonight, but, if you can and will go to the conference, come to the meeting tonight to drop your name in a hat.  You will be responsible for your flight and hotel, but the pass itself is a $1095 "value".

Doug Ware will be talking about SharePoint development, a GREAT topic, so leave work early so you can get a good seat!

Silverlight Media Player and SharePoint v2

Back on January 14th I posted about a Silverlight media player web part that myself and Keith co-developed.  I posted the source code then as well.  The new home for the project is going to be @ CodePlex.

The project is called Media Player Web Part using SharePoint 2007 and Silverlight and the URL is http://www.codeplex.com/SLMP4SP.  If anyone wants to contribute to the project, drop me a line via my blog.  I would love to have a release ready by month's end.

Stop the Insanity!

So I was trying to install some software for the fingerprint reader on my laptop, which is running Vista x64, and I got this error.

I have say, this is right up there in the list of strangest errors I have ever seen.  Needless to say, the software did not install.

Silverlight Media Player and SharePoint

Last Monday, January 7th, Keith and I talked about how to host a Silverlight Media Player in a SharePoint Web Part and the processes used to create and deploy it to a SharePoint site.  As promised here is the slide deck and all of the code.  I apologize for the delay, I've been swamped at work, imagine that!  We have a couple of more talks in the pipe to expand on these concepts so stay tuned!
