Fun Weekend

This was a fun weekend w/ my fiance, Dawn, visiting from Texas! Here is a recap I wrote for a friend in an e-mail...

Yeah, I had a great weekend. The Highlights:

• Dawn was in town!! She was visiting all weekend, whoop! This is what gave me inspiration for everything else this weekend.
• Wrote three kick-ass little C# apps, each within two dozen lines of code.
  - AnagramGetter solves anagram puzzles using a website and using multithreading from the ThreadPool.
  - ClearTextSelection, with a single keystroke, removes the annoying text formatting that occurs when trying to copy and paste.
  - ExportTasks prints a list (like a directory) of the tasks in Outlook. This allows me to send certain lists to people in e-mail (or the web, etc).
• Worked on solving puzzles for prizes for an internal MS MVP advertising campaign. Solved several, well Dawn did, and got more points towards prizes.
• Assembled my Darth Vader Legos, then added some of my own electronics to make Vader's eyes actually glow (w/ super-mini LEDs).
• Saw a fantastic, side splitting funny performance by the MS Theater group, a sci-fi Shakespearian 50s-60s rock musical comedy, call Return to Forbidden Planet.
• Partied w/ Vito Sabella at his pad w/ over a dozen other, relatively new, msftes (Microsoft Full-Time Employees).
• Saw The Incredible cartoon (w/ Vito), oh that was funny and entertaining! :)
• Oh yeah, and did I mention that Dawn was w/ me?? Yeah, that was the best part. ;)
