One more day to submit TabletPC Apps for $100,000
Here is a link with the info on this contest.
I had to do a little decision making in the last few weeks as I started focusing on my little app. I am just not satisfied with it yet, so I had to bag it for a while again
Winning $100,000 : +$100,000! (and believe me, that would be like a dream!)
Completing my commitments to clients, conference organizers and publishers: Priceless
Chis Sells at Burning Man – Cool
If you have ever followed the Burning Man festival, you know it is a totally wild event out in the middle of the desert. Apparently Chris Sells is there getting his ya-ya’s out this week. I’m impressed!
What email server does this?
I sent out an email to my vtdotnet list this morning – about 250 people.
I have received “back” a copy of the email about 30 times — from me and to me — with this message on the bottom
This email may contain information protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Tech Support to our families
You *all* know what this is about. Having to answer any computer related question no matter how far it is from what we really do for a living. “My computer is slowing down, should I reformat the hard drive?”, “popups popups everywhere!”, “I just deleted *all* of the pictures from your sister’s wedding. What do I do?”
One solution I had thought of was to partner with another geek and trade family tech support – so when your father calls and he’s mad at his computer, you won’t take it personally.
Leon Bambrick (SecretGeek) and Scott Hanselman have a much better, pro-active idea. Which is to take ownership of your families backup, virus protection etc. plans – really by just reminding them periodically. Sounds easy enough. Check it out.
Web Services = CORBA?
That seems to be the thinking over here. Go see what the other half (well, I suppose Smalltalk doesn’t really make up 1/2 of developers – but you know what I mean) has to say about web services.

Sorry, but if you are a chocolaholic, it’s always fun to read news like this. Yeah, yeah… so the problems from eating TOO much chocolate outweigh the benefit.
