According to this MSDN blog the SQL Server 2008 release will be postponed to the 3rd quarter of 2008, instead of being released in the end of February with Windows Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008.
“Microsoft is excited to deliver a feature complete CTP during the Heroes Happen Here launch wave and a release candidate (RC) in Q2 calendar year 2008, with final Release to manufacturing (RTM) of SQL Server 2008 expected in Q3. Our goal is to deliver the highest quality product possible and we simply want to use the time to meet the high bar that you, our customers, expect.”

Some time ago I’ve found an nice Silverlight 1.0 application which is now part of Silverlight.net Showcase. It is an open source configurable slide show application. The configuration is made by using XML or inline javacript (using JSON - JavaScript Object Notation).
See the live demo in Vertigo’s website. I had some issues while trying it on Firefox. The problem was Silverlight 1.1 September Alpha Refresh. So, in Internet Explorer it runs well with the 1.1 version, but to run it on Firefox you must have the stable 1.0 version.
This project is also hosted in Codeplex.
This is a riddle that I will never forget about…
“There are three light bulbs in a room, and three light switches outside the room. You are outside, and want to match up which switch goes with which light bulb. You can only travel into the room once, and cannot come back in again. You can do anything you want upon entering the room. How can you set the situation so that you will know which switch goes with which light bulb?”
The answer? Think about it! (or google it 
)
Since I’ve created this blog I’ve been using a nice Wordpress plugin to allow a nice user experience while visiting this website with a mobile device. It is called Wordpress PDA Plugin and it’s installation is plug-and-play. Since this is a blog, and probably most of the readers just subscribe my RSS feed into some reader or aggregator, this plugin isn’t essential, but is still pretty nice.
These are some screenshots from my website mobile version.
As you can see, in the homepage it removes all the images and shows only part of the text, to optimize performance. By entering into a entry details you can read the whole content, including images.
