Back from Seattle

I'm back from a great week in Seattle learning about the latest efforts from the ISV community. I visited the new offices in Bellevue which has to be the most impressive Microsoft office I've seen; had a coffee with Frank Arrigo, bought a new Zune (in black) which is very impressive (and updated the firmware/software for my old Zune which is just brilliant).

Australia Partner Conference Countdown Gadget

chlong — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 04:53:07 GMT

Attending ReMix last month inspired me to create this basic Vista sidebar gadget based on Michael's countdown gadget. At time of writing it's 51 days, 21 hours and 16 minutes to Hamilton Island!

To download it, either click here or follow these 5 easy steps:

visit http://gallery.live.com/
type "APC" in the search gallery box (the orange "Australia Partner Conference" gadget will appear)
click on download and install
click either open or save
click install again and it'll appear in your Vista sidebar

Nick wants a RSS gadget to aggregate all of our partner blogs and twitter ... which of course needs to include a fly-out, the size to change when you undock it etc. etc. May need to go on a course or pop down to our developer team for some help :)

If you have any other ideas or want to create something for us, let me know ;-).

To create your own gadget, take a look at some of these resources:

I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front... we've been busy planning for our next financial year.

It's almost 6pm here in Sydney and just twittered, "I've survived another Monday" and about to head into the city... before I do, I must tell you about these 6 videos I found on On10.

There's some AMAZING stuff out there:
