Hello World...

Hi,
this is a blog about problems encountered and resolved as a .Net developer at Esendex, a business sms provider based in Nottingham, England. Hopefully I'll be able to give you a light hearted insight into the world of .Net development here at Esendex and share with you any problems of interest and how we overcame them so that you won't have to go through those problems yourselves.

This is the new home of my windows live blog as i want to use google analytics to track visitors and i can't do that on windows live. I won't move any posts here from my live blog as it's still available but i will just give you a quick rundown on what i'm currently blogging about...

Web Gadgets and Google Gadgets: Here at Esendex we provide a business sms service as mentioned above and i thought that our service would give me a good opportunity to look into gadget development. Basically looking to provide an Inbox gadget and possibly a sending gadget as well. Progress has varied from week to week but i'm hoping that the next time i update you all on the how this is going i will have a working Google Desktop or Windows Live gadget. (Fingers Crossed!)

XNA: I've always been interested in games development and with Microsofts new games development SDK it's fairly simple to create games for both the PC and the XBox 360. I've started development of a breakout clone, something i once wrote in managed DirectX. Once i have a working version i'll find somewhere to host it and give you guys a download link!

I'll be updating roughly once a week, workload permitting and provided there's something worth saying.
