Charlie Kindel Plays my Windows Phone Game

Charlie Kindel Plays Pattern Match on Windows Phone
High score of 1 eh?  Impressive.

I’ve actually seen one of my programs running on a real device, which is nice.  This is the Pattern Match game that you can download from the my demos.

Hello from DevDays 2010

Base Camp in the Tech Days 2010 Speakers Lounge
Setting up for Geek Night tonight. I just love those groovy chairs. Yes, that is a Windows Phone on the desk. And a robot…

It turns out that writing code in airports at 5:00 am actually works sometimes. I was able to get a new version of my program working and even find the source of all my hardware troubles. A dodgy network cable……

My first session is at 3:05 this afternoon, if you are at DevDays 2010 in the Netherlands then feel free to drop along and see more demos than you could shake a stick at…

For those of you not at the conference, I’ll be putting all the sample code and the presentation up on here later today.

Daffs

I spent a big chunk of today making things not work. It was as if the god of “Things Not Working” decided to pay me a special visit. It was all really annoying, in that the emulations all worked fine, but the real thing failed in the strangest of ways.  In the end I was reduced to opening the fridge door and watching the light come on, just because I wanted to see some hardware that did the right thing…..

Now with Added Pigs

Pigs
Pepsi and Galaxy. Not sure why they are named after high calorie snack fodder, but there you go.

Two new arrivals chez Miles today. We now have even more guinea pigs. I actually like having guinea pigs as pets, they are one of the few animals that I’m fairly sure I’m cleverer than.

Ready for DevDays 2010

Programs
If you want to find what all these demo programs do and get the inside track on Windows Phone development come along to my DevDays 2010 session at 15:05 on 30th of March.  I’m also giving a session at 20:15 on that day as part of Geek Night. With robots.
