Just got to Dallas and Damn its HOT

I just got to Dallas for TechEd and I just checked into my wonderful room ath the Mansion on Turtle Creek: http://www.mansiononturtlecreek.com and It's HOT! I came with my 2 dogs and they're loving it, it was cold and rainy still at home in Manhattan and they're both warm weather dogs.

We're about ready to leave to go to a Ranch for a party for the INETA folks - where I'm sure I'm going to have my share of drinks. But tomorrow it's all business, yeah right, but we are sharing a booth so I actally am going to do something other than socialize this conference. Not to mention the 10 hour days I'll be putting in on getting DNJ fully functional.

Well I'll update on the party when I get back to my room - I don't think they're going to be having wireless at the "Ranch"

RSS Feeds Fixed!!

Ok, the RSS feeds are fixed. We were using deflate rather than gzip for our compression algorithm. I switched to GZIP and all is good now. The worry is over :-) Enjoy the feeds.

My Issues with Forum Integration

Ok, we're going to be doing what we can with the forums we have integrated on http://dotnetjunkies.com/forums - these forums are the original build and were not the easiest thing to integrate nor did I like the functionality, but hey - they were free and they work. I did get to see where they're at on Version 2.0 when I went to the ASP.NET 2.0 design preview earlier this month, which was awesome. So we're waiting for those before we do to much work with the present one. Don't worry, we will not be loosing any data in the migration!!!!

But on the flip side, after we get this version of DNJ under control we'll be working on better navigation and usefulness of the present forums. Stay tuned! We should have general discussion forums up soon, next day are too. If you have any suggestions please let us know either by responding to this post or emailing us!!!
