Visual Studio Links #73
Written by: Darren Stokes at 9/21/2008 4:07:46 PMThe lack of posts over the past week was due to the hurricane (Ike) damage and my subsequent lack of internet service (as well as power, water, gasoline, and many other important things). That stuff is back for me now, but the last report I saw stated that almost 1 million customers were still without power. I'm hoping things will get fixed quickly so the area can begin recovery. So here are the links for the past week. I'm hoping this next week will be more normal.
