[see no touch] 25/5/05: Well enough we found an Acrobat program that had all the information we needed, and basically lolled around for the rest of the time. However, that uncooperative computer refused to both accept Chang Rui's thumbdrive and read the Acrobat file at the same time, so I ended up typing out the whole thing while Cheryl and Chang Rui read it out to me. My fingers were icy cold by then.
[Not Your Father's America] Young Conservative Pundits in Three Easy Traits: Similarly, no woman, presumably, would defend something that’s bad for her gender, and no young person would fight for what most of his generation opposes. And yet the ranks of conservative pundits swell with advocates whose primary purpose seems to be using their demographic birthright to defuse criticism of offensive policies. So don’t fault Ben, Ben, and Kyle for their odd upbringings and unlikely prominence - their rare combination of youthful looks and throwback sensibilities are the precise attributes that allow them to advocate and oppose where older, stodgier Republicans dare not tread, just like Linda, Ward, and Michelle use their race to go where white Republicans cannot. As a friend of mine once noted, if these folks didn’t exist, Republicans would have to invent them.
[Obsessive Law Student] Our service personnel: It's Memorial Day weekend, so while I was going to blog about James Dobson, I will save that for another time and today pay tribute to my sister, my friends Jay, Reco, and Matt, and the other men and women who serve or have served in each of our armed services.
[Blogs.msdn.com] JRoxe's WebLog :: I spent last week down at VSLive and had a chance to catch up with a bunch of folks even if I wasn't speaking. I actually had a small talk for the theatre prepared, but the plasma screen was busted. One of the things that I was most looking forward to demoing was RegFree COM. This is a technology that Stephanie Saad demonstrated in Soma's keynote at VSLive Orlando but hasn't gotten much discussion yet. If you have COM components that you want to use with your VB 2005 applications (and we know you do), this provides a way to deploy the component to a user's machine along with a manifest. This means that you don't need to register it on the user's machine, so you avoid the problems of "DLL Hell" and can actually have multiple versions running on the same machine. If you select a COM component in a Visual Studio 2005 project, there's a new property "Isolated". If you set this to true, the component can be deployed through ClickOnce and VS will automatically generate the manifest. There's a few caveats including the fact that you have to be running on Windows XP or higher, can't do this to out-of-process server EXEs and can't be used as an add-in or snap-in.

[Blogs.msdn.com] jaybaz [MS] WebLog :: For those who are worried that my blog will become dry & dull now, rest assured that I hear your concerns. I plan to keep a personal touch in this location, as I always have. But I have also always held back, and on my personal blog I won't need to do that (as much).
[Rit.edu] jay is - jay bibby's rants and raves of flash games and gameplay: In a world where record labels sue their own customers instead of providing easy access to their massive libraries, and where millions of dollars are spent on creating anti-piracy technologies that keep only paying customers from using the music any way they choose, it's refreshing to be on the receiving end of some exceptional free music tracks without a guilty conscious.

[Internettime.com] Internet Time Blog: "For some, the work of the future will resemble an elaborate, personalized video game front-end that’s connected to the physical operations of their company." Jay Cross says it as openly as he would drink a glass water and I am glad that there are individuals like him who do "see" the direction we are in. If you would like to open a bit more yourself to the emerging new concepts of workflow learning and to the paradigmatic revolution new communication/collaboration technologies are paving under our unconscious feet, I do suggest you spend a little time (1:07) watching Jay Cross presentation to the ASTD, which he delivered again to the organization chapter in Silicon Valley this past week. Entitled "Collaboration Supercharges Performance" the Breeze-based presentation contains the same slides and content he utilized a couple of months back for the main ASTD conference in Washington. Jay, along with a few others (some clearly listed on his right column blogroll) is a trusted agent for change in the way we conceive work and learning.
