This is cool, Microsoft Robotics Studio:
"Microsoft announces the Microsoft Robotics Studio, which offers end-to-end robotics development environment customer technical preview for hobbyist, academic, and commercial developers."
I have no idea how to persuade my wife that we need to fit a Lego robot into the household budget though :).
A great qoute from todays meeting: "Hardware breakes over time, software is broken from the start". :)
MTPS (Microsoft/TechNet Publishing System) is looking good. Why not build man pages of msdn using it?
There's a lot of exiting things going on at msdn, like msdn wiki beta.
And also a beefed up search functionality and UI for MSDN and TechNet. Also in beta. Check it out!
Ever browsed around and felt that this is a page/post you want to read later. For me bookmarking doesn't really do it, I tend to forget and it drowns in a sea of other bookmarks. Well I was really happy when I found this little nifty service. I just hit a bookmarklet in my browser and the service dumps out the page and mails it to me. Sweet! And of course I've set up a rule/filter on my email client so it's drops down in to the "To Read" folder/label all by it self.
The soccer world cup of 2006 is about to start in just4 days, I'm starting to get nervous. Luckely I just came across this excel workbook for keeping track of the games and results. Me like!
