SMS Messages with Windows Mobile 5.0

A while ago, I was playing around creating a bot, a Snarkier version of the Mobile Secretary Application . Well, it was late and I got sloppy. So basically, my little app sent out a text message to everyone on one of my company's Outlook distribution lists. I learned a lot that night. So you've always...

Professional Microsoft SmartPhone Programming

I just got a copy of Professional Microsoft SmartPhone Programming and all I can say is NICE! I always worried that the first real SmartPhone book would not go into enough depth to be useful. Not an issue here. Basically, the book is a list of "What would you like to do with Smartphone" and shows you...

Ms. Dewey

Well, I've heard about Ms Dewey for a few days now and didn't think much of it. If you weren't aware of it, Ms Dewey is a little project Microsoft did to show off Windows Live Search . If you're a guy, you'll probably find her hot and the Flash effects cool. Most women I've come...

Comment of the week - Sql Server Reporting Services vs. Crystal

A while ago, I posted this about how much a55 I think Crystal Reports sucks. A long time ago, back at like v.7, I thought Crystal was a decent product. And to be honest, it still is a decent product. But it comes with a lot of baggage and has a lot that just makes it lame. So I had almost total consenus...

AOL Customer Service Call from H3ll

This is a Absolutely shocking . It took this guy over 20 minutes to cancel his account (and although AOL claims they don't encourage this stuff, how many nightmare stories have you heard about people cancelling AOL? Granted, few people use such a lame service anymore, but back in the day, I remember...

Is Google's fortune about to change?

Net Neutrality - Dead in the water...

Well, until I really understood what Net Neutrality would entail, it sounded like a good thing. Afterward it seemed like just a ton of paperwork and a pretty clear back door way for governments to regulate the net. Anyway, it it died in the House

Why Technical People shouldn't design interfaces...

Not too long ago , I discussed the fact that programmers are pretty much the last people that should be developing interfaces. My point wasn't that developers are incapable of understanding good UI design concepts, it's just that for some reason or another, we tend not to be very good at implementation...

Just activated my Motorola Q

One more thing I 'needed' was the Motorola Q. Well, I just got it activated and have already used it. So far, I'm in absolute awe of the thing. Personally, I've been a bigger fan or Pocket PC Phone Edition devices than I have been of Smartphones, but this bridges the gap. By far the most attractive features...

HttpModule for Dynamic Grammars

In a few minutes, I'm doing my presentation on Tips & Tricks with Speech Server. One of my new tricks is using a HttpModule to build a Dynamic Grammar.
