Decided to give it another go; same account: http://twitter.com/nbenvenuti
Remotely interesting data point: It took more than 'several minutes' for Twitter to restore my account. How about > 24 hours. :-/

Looking for something at CodePlex today, I stumbled upon Sukesh's IIS7 Mobile Admin. Here is his blog post about it. Very nifty - go check it out! (note that it requires the Hostable Webcore Service he wrote - links to the HWS are on the blog post and CodePlex page). UPDATE: Sukesh dropped me a comment - HWS is _not_ required.

I am delighted to announce that two of the abstracts I submitted for the Central Ohio Day of .NET 2008 have been accepted! Go to http://cinnug.org/cododn/default.aspx for details, session list, and event registration (even though the event is FREE, please do register as it helps with planning for facilities, swag, and refreshments). I hope to see you there on April 19, 2008! My sessions are:
A Quick Tour of the Windows Mobile Development in Visual Studio 2008 (Level 200)
This session will give attendees a quick tour of Windows Mobile
Development in Visual Studio 2008, primarily focusing on developing
with the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 against the Windows Mobile API and
SQL CE 3.5. See what features are in VS2008 to enable development of
Windows Mobile applications for both the hobbyist and the enterprise.
This session will also discuss and demonstrate use of Windows Mobile
APIs including GPS, Outlook Mobile, SNAPI, and WISP as well as SQL CE
3.5
Access to Your Data Anytime and Anywhere With the Microsoft Sync Framework (Level 300)
The Microsoft Sync Framework (MSF) is a comprehensive synchronization
platform that enables synchronization, offline, and collaborative
scenarios for services, applications, and devices. This session will
discuss MSF, its architecture (including the default providers (Sync
Services for ADO.NET, Sync Services for File Systems, and Sync Services
for FeedSync)), and the mechanisms by which MSF can be extended.
Demonstrations of MSF usage and building a custom provider will also be
featured in this presentation
I am very excited about the Sync presentation as I can also now talk about ADO.NET Sync Services for Devices which just released CTP1!

I was preparing a new virtual machine this weekend and ran into some troubles getting VMWare Tools installed (I repeatedly received errors about the vmhgfs module). I am using VMWare Workstation 6.0.2, and the guest OS was Ubuntu Linux 7.10. After quite a bit of futzing about, I turned to the Ubuntu Forums, where I found this gem of a thread. A bit frustrating that the whole thing was caused by having "<" instead of "<=". Thanks to Ubuntu Forums poster aNyBosZ.
Post #2 by aNyBosZ gives the fix:
Software necesario
- sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
vmwaretools
- cd /tmp
- tar -xzvf VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz
- cd vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source
- cp vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs.tar.old
- tar xvf vmhgfs.tar
- cd vmhgfs-only
- chmod 644 compat_slab.h
- vi compat_slab.h
Search-> #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 22) || defined(VMW_KMEMCR_HAS_DTOR)
Fix-> #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE <= KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 22) || defined(VMW_KMEMCR_HAS_DTOR)
Save Chages
- chmod 444 compat_slab.h
- cd ..
- rm vmhgfs.tar
- tar cvf vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only
- cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
- sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Feel free to sub in your favorite text editor for vi on the line "vi compat_slab.h". I used gedit. (yesh, I'm a vi hater).
