Sorry, couldn't resist the pun.  Here's an article I did for .NET Developer's Journal this month.  It's a peek at what I've been working on the last couple months.

My wife and I head to Vegas in the morning for MEDC and a little R&R.  It'll be nice to get a break to recharge from a very hectic last 6 months (though things are still going better than for Neil it appears).

Once I'm back I'll post some stuff on what I've been up to lately as well as some status info on the long awaited SDF 1.3 (it's good news, I promise).

It seems that mobile and embedded computing is finally being recognized as an actual career path.  Purdue University has a class and a Mobile Computing Lab.  Check out the projects students have done so far.  Very promising indeed.

Here's a quick look at the object model so far (the Aircard555 is where the bulk of it resides).  The documentation is a bit sparse yet for descriptions, and there are methods that I've not yet added - largely for voice calls - but it's coming along well.

Anyone have interest in the voice end of things anyway?

I've got a basic code line counter that I like to run on my projects occasionally.  Just hit the SDF source tre and this is what I got:

code lines=51090 comment lines=32619 files=473 projects=12

A typical rate of development for an experienced developer is probably 100 lines of debugged code per man-week.  That means that the SDF has roughly 9.8 man-years of development invested.  Now consider you can get it for free, including source.  Even if you were superhuman and could write 1000 lines of code per week, it would still take you a year to replicate it.
