I’ve never had an MRI, and neither had The IT Manager’s Journal blogger Jason Slater before today.
After reading his tale, I hope I never have to have one!
I wasn’t ready for the face clamp as it shall henceforth be known nor was I ready for the tiny hole they were rather optimistically hoping to stuff me through. To get an idea of my plight imagine trying to push a plucked, but rather fat and juicy, chicken with an american football helmet on through the holes of a series of polo mints.
Microsoft’s Silverlight has hit their 1.0 RC milestone. In case this one has slipped under your radar, here’s how MS describes the technology:
Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of Microsoft .NET–based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.
From what I gather, it’s essentially an alternative to Flash. Surprisingly for a product from MS, it’s available for Mac OS X and eventually for Linux as well as Windows.
I’m not going to claim the slightest expertise here. This is a case of a technology floating around and me hearing about it without paying much attention until suddenly it gets in my face. I hope to dig into it a bit more and if/when I do I’ll report my findings.
