I am thinking going to this event again this year. I went there 2 years ago, and was impressed by what Grand Center has to offer.
I can not think of other big New Year celebration activies here.
The direction to Grand Center is here. Happy New Year !!!

Back to software. I installed the VS 2008 couple days ago. Two things worth to note.
1) Install from iso image: initially I burned a DVD from the iso image. During install it could not find couple files, probably because the DVD drive spins too fast. So I used this MagicISO freeware to mount a virtual CD. It worked beautifully.
2) After I install the pro version of VS 2008, I got an “unspecified error” when click on Project Properties. After I installed SP1, things worked fine.
Time to do some real work…
