Yes, I am still here

Since the work on Microsoft Max wound down, I have been working on things that I cannot discuss. Sorry, that is how it goes sometimes.

I have been working a lot with D3D10 lately, so I will endeavor to get more tips about it out as I find them.

Bye bye to Microsoft Max

As we can see now on the home page, the Max project has ended. It was a real blast, and I had the opportunity to learn a lot about Avalon (now WPF) and to create a really cool product.

As the project closed, I decided to make a move in the company to where I can continue to work on cutting edge graphics and user interfaces, namely the Windows Client team. As Vista has been completed, the team is busy figuring out what the next version of Windows will look like, and this is an exciting team to move over to the team and help with that figuring out.

Just because Max does not work anymore does not mean that I will not be posting about WPF or answering questions about it. I have been slack with my posts lately with all of the moving around and goings on, but I hope to get some answering done today.

Running a blog is hard

I finally found the settings in my blog that allow me to keep track of comments. For some reason, I thought that it was set to notify me when I got comments and it was not.

While I was there I found the old comments that I neglected to moderate and pushed them out. Sorry for the lateness in moderation folks. Hopefully it will get better. At least only two people were affected. If I had readership like Scoble then a lot more people would be stuck in moderation :)

Richard Morgan asked a good question about WrapPanel that I will try to address soon too.

Spring Blog cleaning

BenCon — Wed, 10 May 2006 06:19:00 GMT

Whatever tiny readership I have has probably noticed that I have tried to clean up the blog a bit, fix up some links and post some new content. I even picked a spiffy new blog template.

Hopefully the momentum can be kept up this time. My post count is woeful, and I always procrastinate writing on the blog. Lately I have thought of some WPF tips, tricks and learnings to share, and I will try to keep up a few posts a week.

If anybody has questions on anything to do with WPF, please email me or leave a comment on the blog. I would love suggestions on what topics to write about. In the process of writing Max I have had figure a lot out, and work closely with a lot of the WPF team in the process, so I should be able to come up with something helpful.
