It’s a Small World, After All, part 1 – VB, C#, and GPS (Matt Gertz)
04 August 09 02:34 PM

As I’ve written elsewhere, the toughest critics for any work you do can always be found in your own family. Pleased at the immense work that I’d done in scanning in and tagging all of my photos and media (as noted in this post ) , and with my ego sufficiently Read More...
