Today’s brief IM conversation about twedge reminded me about this project I put together in the last minute for a local conference last May. Twedge is a simple twitter widget, build with Silverlight 4. You can specify some colors, time interval and search terms for displaying tweets through the...

One of the “annoyances” with Silverlight (and similar browser plugins) is with watching a video in a multi-monitor set up – you would pop out your Silverlight video player to full screen on one monitor and continue working on your other monitor – which would cause your video player to return to its normal...

The process of creating a custom Twitter map is fairly easy, these are the steps for creating a Silverlight tweets map.: 1.

I stumbled upon this really nice Silverlight application today – Shidonni is a sort of social networking application for creative children – it lets them create their own animals, put them in a world that they’ve created, feed them with the food they’ve drawn and share them with their friends on the...

I’m observing this really irritating trend with new software lately… I followed up on a couple of tweets today to try the new Silverlight application everyone was RT’ing of. Clicked on the link and the loading animation began. Seconds later, it… stopped. Huh? Then I noticed an icon in IE’s left bottom...

Windows 7 launch day was fun. I gave a talk on Expression tools (and related) – here’s the PowerPoint slide deck for those who asked for it: I used Expression Blend 3 to build a photo viewer application, which I’ll blog about later; key points here were designer-developer workflow + using sample data...

Last night, while working on a sample Silverlight application with Blend, I asked myself – where’s the Use GPU Acceleration option? Sure you can set the parameter on a Silverlight object directly in HTML or enable it through Out-Of-Browser Settings in Visual Studio 2008, but how about Blend? The answer...

In the previous post, we enabled editing for our TreeView. The last operation we need to implement is adding a new item to the hierarchy. With our tree item editor in place, there’s not so much left to do… The only change we need to make with the View is add an Add button, right next to the Edit button...

Been playing with a Songsmith a little today. It’s a music generation software, but with additional twist: you’re doing the vocals and Songsmith stands in as your backing band. It’s actually following your singing by choosing the right chords to match your voice in real time! Using...

In my previous post I briefly described the process of creating a large Deep Zoom image with Microsoft Image Composite Editor. This post is going to present the steps I took with ICE in a little bit more detail, just to show its power. As I mentioned in that post, I shot the scene with 24 (6x4) - kind...

Setting up the nativity scene for the Christmas holidays has been my family tradition going back way before I was born. Most figures are dated back to my grandparents era, while the others (mostly sheep) were gathered over the years. Each year, the scene setup is determined by a couple of factors, like...

Visual Studio 2008 introduced a lot of new features to support new technologies, adding some cool new designers to developer’s tool belt. On the other hand, support for some technologies was simply left out, leaving a some developers very unhappy. One of those was support for SQL Server 2005 BI projects...

Want to tune into 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games with Silverlight ? Not in the United States, you say? Well, tough luck ;) This IP restriction thing is getting sillier by the day... Isn't Internet supposed to be global? What happened to World Wide Web? :)

If you're considering installing Expression Blend 2.5 March 2008 Preview over Expression Blend 2 December Preview, make sure you uninstall the December Preview first, and then continue with March Preview installation. When doing vice versa, you'll lose some of the "Open in Expression Blend"...
