Re: So long 2007...

Yep, Happy New Year everyone!

I predict that 2008 will be another successful year for our community.
Lots of stuff has been on the burners for a while and I think we're
going to start to harvest the benefits.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rick Hanson in person to demo Steve's
Remem design, talk about Rex, and show DLPilot. It was great fun. We
brainstormed a lot of project ideas and things that would encourage
more fun and participation.

One bit of low-hanging fruit that I think would be very cool is to
showcase the best of the old library programs and Portable 100 et al
magazine articles. Maybe a few of us pick one each every month or two
from the libraries or magazines and we can republish it as html or
wiki markup with screen shots, etc. Maybe some "flash video"
recordings taken of VirtualT. Certainly all of the awesome games at
http://www.bitchin100.com/m100-oss/archive/ could use some screen
shots and/or flash videos to show off the work Kurt Dekker open
sourced for us some time back. Let me know if there are any
volunteers...

LaddieCon factoid

Rick Hanson asked me why LaddieCon is named what it is... I knew there
was a reason but couldn't immediately recall.

I think that I just took DL (the initials for Desklink) and reversed them.

Try to pronounce LD, you need some vowels thus, Laddie. Well you could
say "Led" or "Leddie" but that would associate it in my mind with
Huddie Ledbetter, or Led Zeppelin. Either way, LaddieCon is not
worthy.

The Con part means Console. My intent is to eventually write a nice
GUI for it, but the current version is console only. So if I write the
GUI version it will just be called Laddie.

Well I won't "ramble on" any further.
