I've skinned, or tweaked a CommunityServer site before, but what I must admin, it's definitely not an easy process, and not something I'd want anyone to have to go through!

Last week I got started on getting the DotNetNuke Wiki module into a 4.4.0 source solution, so that I could convert the module to ASP.NET 2.0 and debug it in Visual Studio. Normally this wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary, I setup DotNetNuke solutions for a living, I can do it in my sleep, but I decided I was going to do all of this on my main machine running Windows Vista Ultimate edition.

If you're upgrading your DotNetNuke instance, here is a list of simple steps to follow during the upgrade process.

Does anyone know anything about Mix07 coming up in April? I'm curious who one would contact about session information. I tried using an email address from the www.mix07.com site but of course it gets returned. Anyone at MS have any contacts they can forward my way? I'd apprecaite the help.

Just in time for Christmas a new version of DotNetNuke has been released. On it's 4 year anniversary of the first release, DotNetNuke released version 4.4.

In celebration of the Zune now working on Windows Vista I put together a little video last night. I actually filmed this back on November 14th, the day I got my Zune, I just hadn't taken the time to do anything with the video until last night while I was waiting for my Zune to fully Sync with Vista.

It looks like today is the day I get to install the Zune software on my Windows Vista machine at home. Oh happy day!

The other day I made mention of something new coming to Flickr, well it's been announced!

I emailed Flickr the other day asking if there were other options for their Accounts. I have a Pro account which allows me to upload 2gigs of photos a month. That may sound like alot, and most months it can be for me, but this month I got married and went on our honeymoon, so I knew I'd be posting a lot of photos, both from the wedding and the honeymoon.

While looking around for a Zune SDK this evening I found a way to use your Zune as an external storage device. I haven't yet tested this, so I can't guarantee it works yet.

Well, I spent most of the day today doing a few things around the house. First, I took the good wheels off the Tahoe and put the stock wheels and tires back on. I figured that with Winter upon us I'd rather leave the shiney wheels down in the basement.

Earlier this week I posted a quick rant about the new MS Zune not working on Vista.

Thank you to the Microsoft team for making Vista available for download to the MSDN subscribers! Pulling it down now! Now, let's work on the Zune software to work with Vista ;)

Windows Vista
Windows Vista is not supported at this time. Check back soon for updates.

Tomorrow is the day that the new Microsoft Zune is supposed to be released.
