Long absence

[:'(]Phew, a quick check on my blog and I realised that I haven't updated anything since 19th December...A whopping 1.5 months have gone by. I've mostly adjusted to my not-so-new job and am happy of the opportunities and challenges that comes along w/it, apart from the long hours placed into the project.

Here's some quick updates on the upcoming events for SGDN

1) Feb 06 - We're inviting SourceCode to share the latest news about their upcoming product, BlackPearl
2) Mar 06 - Tentative - MS Corp speaker dropping by Singapore and speaking in our UG
3) Apr 06 - Tentative - If you're excited about Vista, Exchange, Office or .NET 3.0, you must attend LOVE Community Launch.

Watch this blog for more news coming....

 PS. Has anyone encountered problems setting up WMDC on Vista for Dopod 818 Pro (Windows Mobile 5.0)? Would certainly appreciate some advice here.. [:'(]
