To the hand you must talk...
Hello Froggie.
Dede...
Let go of your boyfriend because of the jerk that he is.
I am sorry but this stuff has to make it into the [starwars] databank.

Have you ever noticed that when you travel, people huddle around the power putlets like yard nomes on a tacky lawn?
Just look around one day and you will see all types. From the uber cool Apple shiek person to the power business perdon, the jittery teen who needs to charge her cell phone.
I can't quite understand the cellphone person because you have lots of options to deal with the problem. From buying the mega battery to (how about this for a novel idea) hanging up the phoone until you need it and save the story of your travels until you get home. I mean really, have a story to tell when you get back & maybe your battery will last.
One last thing I noticed is that airports are pretty darn cheap. those so called gnomes would be so much happier if each chair had a power unit in each seat. Think about it, every seat with at least 1 plug for device power. Not only would it be really convient, but relativle easy to configure since most of what you need you could get from a hardware store. a few junction boxes and heavy duty cords & plugs. That's it. Anyone looking in an airport can see the potential there.
So why not? Bet it comes down to money and cost.
Scott Guthrie has a pretty deep post about his keynote and presentation at Mix07.
That was a really great talk and everyone should check it out. It brings to light some interesting scenarios for those who wanted better graphics like with Flash, but are programmers and not artists at heart.
I look forward to what this means to interactive web applications in the future.
Windows Installer XML is one of those interesting toolkits that allow you to push the deployment of a component to the people who know how it needs to be deployed, the developer.
Rob Mensching has a really good post on how WiX is a different kind of programming all together.
Well first off let me say exactly what I do.
If you have not figured it out by now, I am an employee at Microsoft. My main area of responsibility is to do product support. In particular I am a member of the Premier Field Engineering team (PFE).
My position is of a Solutions Premier Field Engineer. My primary areas of responsibility are [SharePoint], Development, Debugging, with a lesser emphasis on Windows Workflow Foundation, BizTalk, and ISA Server.
That's a lot of stuff. I have to understand SQL Server, ASP.NET, .NET, Windows, and lots of other technologies to some degree.
I recently was able to assist in several important situations and I will try to chronicle some tidbits of information here. Names and identifiers are changed to protect the innocent.
Nothing here is a guarantee, every situation is different and plan accordingly. However there may be some similar patterns that you can catch in your environment that will help.
