HANSELMINUTES - discussing vision based computing

Enjoy!

Another codecast interview

Last month when I was in Redmond I managed to catch up with my friend Ken Levy who drives the CodeCast podcast. We went for a great lunch at an indian restaurant and afterwards he set the ipod to record and we chatted about a number of topics, including Microsoft Surface, tablet devices, Microsoft Translator and the Messenger Connect SDK. All products I have been busy working with over the last couple years.

You can download the podcost from here.

Castblaster 0.8 now available for download

As a follow on to the last post, the latest version of Castblaster is now available for download.

Castblaster Mike does it again!

Castblaster Mike has been hard at work in his laboratory and today he sent me (and Hugo) an email regarding the latest tweaks to castblaster, the podcasting software. He has made it UMPC friendly! The best thing is he is following best practices and building a single program that will scale accordingly on the different screen sizes.

You can hear him do a test on his brand new UMPC.

I am looking forward to getting my hands on the new version.

Thanks Mike!
