Writing this from the Orange County Convention Center’s “OpenSpace”.  hanging out with the rest of the central florida .NET Geeks: http://www.devfish.net/articles/inbetween/ You should at least try to make it before the end of the day so you can get a badge and make it into the after-party at Destiny Nightclub

Fixed the XBox support so that videos that play with the right colors. There are now two different versions of the pipeline assembly (Scurvy.Media.Pipeline.dll). One for each platform. This is because the color information must be manipulated differently when compiling a video for the xbox. known issue: compiling a video with compression will produce a [...]

http://creators.xna.com Now you can submit games (assuming you have a subscription) for the community to play.  Can’t wait to see what awesome games come of this.

A bit of a misleading title to be sure but I have a penchant for appreciating weird distributed setups.  I installed the windows RDP client on my wife’s new iMac, and am using it to connect to my laptop, which is then used to deploy XNA code to my xbox. Hurray TCP/IP!

Check out the new XNA Wiki.  I really like the organic nature of wiki’s, so hopefully this will take off and become a serious reference for anyone doing anything with XNA.

So I’m fairly excited, having just installed phpMyID, a simple OpenID provider that I control on my own website, I find myself wanting to find somewhere to log into.  Sadly, looks like aside from commenting on random blogger blogs, there’s not too many people that accept openid.  Wouldn’t it be nice if the following accepted [...]
