Soma announces that we will have new icons so we can build programs that look like the programs we USE! Hip Hip Hooray!!!
many cheers for Microsoft responding to this very loud roar from developers.
I know I was one of bajillions who asked for this.
The icons and bitmaps that are given to us in VS2003 to use in our apps are the same as the ones that have been around for as long as I can remember … maybe even since FoxPro 2.5?

It seems to be a bad joke on everyone. Snow where it hurts and now snow where it hurts (our economy here in Vermont) not to have it. Uggh.

I have had an old Micron laptop hanging around for years that I can’t give away. Nobody wants it. It only has 40MB of RAM and it is not possible to increase it. Therefore you can’t put Windows XP on it.
However, today I am upgrading it from Win95 to Win98SE, putting IE6 SP1 and Office XP (extra license) to give to a family that lives up the road from my parents. Their house burned down to the ground on Thursday and they have nothing. Not even their toothbrushes.
My mom told the teenage boy in the family that helps my her and my dad with their dogs about the computer (and that it’s old and does not have the latest cool stuff on it) and he is beyond thrilled. It was certainly worth holding on to!!! So just remember that next time you look at that old hardware that you think is too dated to be of value to anyone.

Big thanks to the guys at thinktecture who found themselves a little late to reply “YES YES OF COURSE!!” to being in the first .NET Celebrity Auction to Aceh Aid at IDEP. They have offered to cover the eBay seller fees that Stephen and I have to pay for this auction. We have tried to contact eBay about removing the fee of 1.5% for any amount our auction recieves abouto $1,000 (that’s the total not the 30 individual donations). eBay is very careful about trying to protect buyers from the many many fraudulent “charity auctions” and unfortunately it has made things extremely complex and difficult for Stephen and I in trying to make this thing fly.
Update: it was cancelled
In case you were wondering about the status of the mini Code Camp this weekend, it is totally on, regardless of the forecast.
Thom Robbins has said that if for some reason they do decide to cancel (sounds highly unlikely) he will post something over here on his weblog.
VTdotNET member Zachary Kent has set the date for the first Vermont Code Brew. It will be February 2nd from 6-8pm.
Zach has created a Yahoo Group to help manage this.
Group name: VTCodeBrew
Group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VTCodeBrew
Group email address: VTCodeBrew@yahoogroups.com
The first meeting will be at his office so except Root Beer not Draft Beer!!
He’s getting the knack of the blog world since his first Yahoo group post points to Bill Evjen’s Code Brew post and Robert Hurlbut’s Boston Code Brew post!
