I almost forgot to mention this. Our next Wisconsin INETA Meeting is on Tuesday, August 9th from 1900-2100. Travis Feirtag, who is currently subcontracting through the same firm that I use, SysLogic, will be the speaker on the topic ".NET C++ with VS 2005". Particulars can be found on the Wisconsin INETA site here. Travis is one of the best, so bring your difficult questions. FREE SODA AND PIZZA will be served. See me there for details on the usual INETA-Meeting-after-party.
If you blog, read my blog or are just a cool .NET developer and attend these meetings, introduce yourself. To spot me, just look for the guy in the pizza line with at least five slices on his plate wearing the Spiderman Halloween costume and the "I program in VB.NET at work - Kick Me" post-it on my back.
