Melbourne Earthquake
The biggest I've ever felt. The whole house shook, the trees in the front yard were shaking, the power lines were swinging. Radio 3RRR says the centre is Frankston, but I doubt it if it's just there. No ... more reports from Epping as well. Mind boggling! -- Greg
Re: Melbourne Earthquake
Ditto. My first ever, and it felt like a beauty. We were sitting on the couch when it started rocking. The whole house shook and groaned. Quite surreal. I love that the first confirmation came from this list. Dave On Jun 19, 2012 8:57 PM, Greg Keogh g...@mira.net wrote: The biggest I’ve ever felt.

I love that the first confirmation came from this list. With the imminent collapse of the Fairfax news network, this mailing group could become the city's top source of current affairs and news -- Greg

Re: .NET hosting + Sql server
Why would you pay $280 a month for a shared VPS with 2Gb of RAM (OMG that's little) when you can get for about the same price a physical with 4Gb or for slightly more get to 8Gb: http://www.web24.com.au/dedicated-Servers/241/dedicated_specials.html Plus you have 2x320Gb HDD all running on a nice Xeon Quad Core. And if you are good and negotiate you can get an even better deal. I've been running physical servers with Web24 for 5 years and they are just great.

Blacklight and metroising a WPF app
Folks, a few years ago someone here pointed me to the Blacklight http://mightymeaty.members.winisp.net/blacklight.silverlight/ Drag Dock Panel which I thought would quite simple and effective for creating a portal style arrival screen in an app. However, I had to de-style it to remove the ridiculous default glowing and hatching effects and weird colours so it was suitable for a real use. Sadly I discovered it had bugs in the min/max motion when clicking the arrows and I gave up on it. Then Blacklight 4.3 dropped WPF support and a lot of people were confused and upset. The Drag Dock Panel was ahead of its time in a sense, as it had a metro/phone feel. We'd like a similar effect on the main screen of our WPF app where tiles show you what's available and clicking one will zoom into that feature, possibly pushing the other icons out of the way. Does anyone know of a control/kit/technique for creating this effect? I don't want to waste a lot of time reproducing the effect manually if I can avoid it. Thanks Greg

DevExpress has a WPF Metro Style Tile control - see their online demos videos (I have been doing some research lately on this -but haven not purchased or implemented the control as yet).
