I'd thought I'd let you guys know. After 8 years of service in the Army, I'm back in school. Once of the things I'm doing is a Senior Design Project. We're developing mobile applications to hook into our city's (Lincoln, NE) bus system, so that prospective passengers can figure out which bus to take, how long they have until the bus gets there, and the like.
We have 4 student groups on this project: 1 on the server backend, and 3 mobile development teams, for each of iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7. I'm on the WP7 team. If anyone has been thinking about developing apps for WP7 (or Silverlight for Web apps, or WPF for desktop applications), I've been knee-deep in figuring things out. I'll let you guys know how it turns out in May, if nothing else.

I don't know if this is a recent thing or not, but it just caught my eye that, for whatever reason, "Forum" is showing up twice in the browser title bar for the page.
"Drunkard's Walk Forums Forums"
Not really a problem, per se, just... odd.

If architects built buildings the way programmers write programs, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.

Yesterday, we were bright and sunny... until about noon.  We then got a whiteout howling in from the lake.
Now there's almost a foot of the white stuff out there.
I like snow and all, but, c'mon, nature.  What the hell did I do to *you*?

Last year, they did this for Haiti. This year, http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php? ... s_id=88713]the DriveThruRPG merchants have put together a bundle of games for $20 in order to raise money for the New Zealand Red Cross. I see Tales From The Floating Vagabond is in the bundle.

Or, if you'd rather get no games, they have http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php? ... s_id=88712]a $5 donation product you can buy instead.
