Men who feel strong in the justice of their cause, or confident in their powers, do not waste breath in childish boasts of their own superiority and querulous depreciation of their antagonists.

cleaning out the cobwebs

I tried posting this a few days ago, but firewall issues at work prevented me from posting.

A little about me: I'm a MCSD(.NET) & MCT. I work for a fairly big retail company (2700 stores) in the IT department. I'm president of the Roanoke Valley .NET User Group (RV.NUG) and I don't have any GMail invites.

I've been playing with the Visual Studio 2005 beta, and I have to say it's pretty cool. I'll post more about that as I spend more time with it.

I've also been writing my own roguelike game in VB.NET. It's a console app. You can find it at HA!.

More to come...

Hey Chris
I really liked your roguelike game. I will play with it as soon as I find some more time. I was a total Linux guy until I got my new job couple weeks ago, and started playing with dotnet, and I have started thinking about working on an MCAD or MCSD in the near future. I would love to hear your stories/experiences about getting MCSD. Good job, and take care.

Welcome to the community. I didn't even know there was a Roanoke Value user group. I am located in Blacksburg. I was thinking of starting a user group associated with the CS dept at VT. Anyways just saying hi.
