I just tried the new MSN Search beta , and it's definitely working because if you search for " Glen Gordon " my blog site is the first listing! Oh yeah, I'm the first entry under google as well.

Yesterday I scored an 826 (passing was 700) on the last in my series of 3 exams, so I'm now an MCAD.NET in VisualBasic.NET. The exams were harder than I thought, especially the last one, 70-310 Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft...

I have a question that I cannot figure out because I can't figure out how to phrase it in a search engine. Maybe one of my readers has the answer? Suppose I have an app with 3 forms: --- ------------------ | | | | | A | | | | | | | --- | | ...

Randy Miller is a program manager in the Visual Studio 2005 Team System group. He has been at the forefront of work on MSF Agile, which is (in Randy’s words) “a scenario-driven, context-based, agile software development process that utilizes many of the...

Last Thursday night, I had a great time presenting to the Atlanta JavaScript meetup . We had to improvise a bit for group viewing, because no one knew where Ignition Alley’s projector was. I spotted their DLP TV and noticed that it had a VGA input, so...

If you attended my webcast, check back in a day or so for links to relevant information about ASP.NET Mobile Controls. Until then, or even after then, feel free to ask questions or leave me feedback about the webcast. Hope you enjoyed it!

OK, pack your bags for sunny LA! PDC 2005 will be held there in September 2005. (OK, maybe you don't have to pack your bags just yet...)

It seems that this summer, Brian and I just can't stay out of the limelight. Just last month, we teamed up to bring you a day of mobile development. Now, Brian and his many valuable community volunteers have just put the finishing touches on the latest...

I had a strange experience the other night. My wife and I were at a theater getting ready to watch Sideways (a great little film, by the way). During the pre-movie slide show of ads, we kept hearing a voice behind us whispering the text on each slide...

I found this great article on authentication and authorization in .NET by Rockford Lhotka of Magenic Technologies. It touches on things like identities, principals and roles in both ASP.NET as well as in a Windows Forms application.

Well, it seems like only yesterday that I was speaking to crowds at DevDays 2004 in Raleigh and Charlotte. There were some great sessions presented there, and now you can either see what you missed or enjoy them again because streaming video and source...

No, it's not that kind of revival. :-) Dedicated event attendee and .NET enthusiast Tore Bostrup is nobly undertaking the effort to revive the .NET User Group in Columbia, SC. If you live in Columbia, Augusta,or the surrounding areas, and are interested...

Looks like I've hit the big time, being featured on the Events section of MSDN . I'll make sure I find enough to write about so that my section is neither empty nor filled with drivel. OK, a little drivel is fun. And bonus points to you if you recognized...

Often I have to seriously evaluate the usefulness of mobile versions of many websites. Not so with the mobile version of Georgia Navigator . With this page I have instant mobile access to traffic information, incidents, and even traffic cameras. Check...

OK, so the headline references an old joke but it kind of describes my situation. I spent the majority of my years programming in the VB world starting with 3.0. (Don't ask me about the Clipper stuff I did either.) So, not having delved very much into...

I am getting old. I know it for 2 reasons. 1. I have to be at the MSDN event at 7:00 am on Thursday. As such, I don’t want to be up late watching a movie that starts at 12:01 AM. 2. I am not such a Star Wars nut as I was when I was 12, otherwise...

Well, I just got final confirmation on my MSDN Events schedule. I've listed them below. Hope to see you at one. 8/10 Richmond, VA 8/12 Raleigh, NC 8/17 Greensboro, NC 8/19 Charlotte, NC 8/31 Greenville, SC 9/2 Atlanta

This week, I (on the left) had a meeting with my manager Mike O'Neill (center) and some fellow presenters including the Toolman Russ Fustino (on the right) in Memphis, Tennessee. In addition to our time spent talking business, we managed to get in a little...

As if you don't already have enough banners on your site, we now have standard MSDN Events banners you can use. The cool thing is that will update these image files each quarter to identify what our content will be. Anyway, use them wherever you can!...

Imagine you showed up to one of the Microsoft offices in Redmond with a question on CLR compatibility like "Will my .NET 2.0 apps work on the 1.1 runtime?" Imagine that instead of being handed a white paper or given a URL, they actually walked you back...

I've been using an HP h6315 for a while . Despite occassional annoyances, I think it's a pretty cool device. It came with a clip-on keyboard that I hardly ever use (I got a ThinkOutside Bluetooth keyboard that is fantastic). Anyway, a newer model that...

I gave myself a nice little present last night: I spilled water on my Linksys router. Now I can’t get a DHCP address or connection with a wired port (but I can get in over wireless). And it won’t connect to my DSL host Bellsouth. Guess I’ll...

In our quest to make MSDN Events a way for us to foster developer connections in our cities, we’re trying an experiment. On the morning of this coming MSDN Event in Atlanta , we’ll be hosting deep technical dive that (for lack of a better...

Looking for a hotel bill on the floor inside my bedroom door. Looking for a USA Today outside of said door. Needing to stop and think how to set the alarm on my own clock radio. Being surprised that the first channel I see upon turning on the...

I have noticed that more and more the word experience comes up in relation to a person interacting with their pc/phone/device/whatever. In addition to (I think) the "XP" in Windows XP coming from eXPerience, there's the Experience Pack for Tablet PC...
