The Browser Whisperer

Saying Goodbye to .NET Hosting…

No Comments on Wishing Internet Explorer would finally be a real browser…

No Comments on Silverlight 4 – Webcam Permissions Out of Browser?
While playing around with Silverlight 4 and working on my demos for my talk on Tuesday at the Cleveland WPF User Group, I came across a peculiar situation. I’ve got a webcam demo and wanted to see just what I could do with it to add my touches to it. Of course, being the curious […]

I am currently celebrating with friends – my husband and I have an annual LAN party that runs over New Years weekend, and despite the snow, we have a great turn out. Looking forward into 2010, I […]
