Recently, while working on a new module installer I needed to be able to roll back my test environment as I went through the various iterations.  This was not a trivial installation and therefore I knew that I would likely have to take several stabs at this before I got it right.

Normally, I would turn to either Virtual PC or VMWare in this case.  Unfortunately Vista and Virtual PC were not cooperating today and it was taking forever just to do simple file copies between the VPC and host machine.  Installing the module which clocked in at just over 4Mb took forever.  All of my time savings was being eaten up by a finicky Vista install.  Since I re-paved my machine a few months back I did not currently have a VMWare installation running on this machine so that was not really an option....

I recently installed the Pinnacle Studio version 11 upgrade and found this while while going through the ReadMe file:

The official list of Speakers and Sessions have been posted on the DotNetNuke OpenForce '07 website.  We are really excited about the list of speakers for the conference.  We have a few additional special guests that we are still finalizing and we'll keep you posted once we have confirmed their attendance.

As we started putting the conference together, we thought that it would be a good idea to include the broader .Net Open Source community in the conference.  This first conference still primarily focuses on DotNetNuke, but assuming we are succesful with this first event,...

After posting for a couple of years on my DotNetNuke.com blog, I have decided that it was time to start hosting my blog on a dedicated site.  There are a couple of reasons for this decision.  I have felt a bit constrained on DotNetNuke.com. 

Like much of the online world, the blogosphere is a fast moving environment.  There are dozens of tools aimed at making blogging a much richer experience and that simplify the blogging process.  Social networking sites like Digg and DotNetKicks that are aimed at bloggers have been...
