  1. @timheuer ah, that explains it. I thought it was kind of an obscure choice as the first sample to download.
  2. Interesting, the most downloaded #Win8 sample on MSDN is SplashScreen - showing you how to extend the preload time code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Sp… hmm
  3. Exploring Windows 8 XAML today, its just familiar enough to be a little confusing. Who moved my cheese?
  4. @ryanstewart it must be good! I actually got an email from someone, who doesn't work for Adobe, saying I needed to check it out
  5. Another WinJS / Win8 dev must -> two monitors: one for Metro, one for desktop. The Simulator can help you get by until the 2nd one arrives.
  6. @bennage nice, it's definitely one of my favorite framework features.
  7. @AndyBeaulieu hah, well played :)
  8. Doing WinJS dev for Win8? Make sure you grok this sucker first -> WinJS.Promise msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… Afterwards, life is good.
  9. I'm starting to read Facebook URIs fluently... too much integration work lately...o_0
  10. @DanWahlin thanks, unfortunately things have just gotten worse. Current big project is breaking at the seams. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
  11. @ShawnWildermuth hah, yes, that is the lesson of the day.
  12. @ShawnWildermuth JS, CSS and HTML
  13. @Pete_Brown Ahhhhh...no, the nightmares...:-s
  14. VS11 froze, Win8 bluescreened and 3 files were corrupted beyond repair - and I lost about a day of work. Ah, the joys of working on a beta..
  15. @MossyBlog they are going to have to change their homepage twitter.com/adkinn/status/…
  16. Hooray! -> Microsoft to drop Windows Live branding with Windows 8 cnet.co/IxJ6Q9 via @CNET
  17. @TommyLee whoa, nice!
  18. @sempf even better, have fun!
  19. @sempf finally starting on your #stirtrek talk? :)
