Windows Anywhere and VSLIve discounts – best rates end after today

Just Rambling

The Windows Anywhere conference is one of the 6 conferences that make up VSLive San Francisco in early February.

All of the conferences have a super early bird discount of $695 each that ends today.

Then they are $795 through Jan 5th.

After that, they are $995.

A Gold Passport gives you unlimited access to ALL conferences and workshops for $2495.

I’m doing a session (Advanced Web Development for Tablet PC or is that Advanced Tablet PC Development for Web Applications 🙂 ) at the Windows Anywhere show.

Pass-WORDs vs Pass-Phrases

Just Rambling

Craig Andera gave new life to a 5 month old post that I had not seen before! It was the first blog post by Robert Hensig from the PSS Security incident response team at Microsoft. The original post is about using phrases rather than single words for a password. I have forwarded this already to the sysadmin’s responsible for my biggest client’s network. I see a few other people are now linking to this post today – which is good. This helps blogging not be linear. He has many other posts since then on the topic.

Fear on the slopes

Just Rambling

Oh no, now you won’t even be able to yell “watch out!!!!!” to the whackos on the ski slopes! Eeeek!

<old fart>I remember when Sony Walkman’s came on the market and people were wearing them while driving their cars and riding their bikes. Really unsafe.</old fart>

The glasses are REALLY cool, but hey, I get paid to worry about “what if”!
