Thanks! We're happy to hear you like the site. Adding a Search box is a great idea. I've just updated the site to now display a Bing search box at the top of each page.

Next week there will be a new version of the gadget released which will be much improved and support the latest build of Silverlight.

Yes, I'm working on a new version right now that I expect to have finished in July. This one is going to be much better than before, I'm really enjoying working on it.

Well played Mr. Jenkins. I can't talk to Silverlight 3 yet, but here is a screenshot of text from two of the games mentioned above: http://adamkinney.com/images/blog/gametext.gif

If you check out the Manic Miner game and click the screen, the text comes flying at you and gives you a good idea of what the text looks like close up.

I've made my decision. I liked them all for separate reasons. Denis, I really liked the custom animation. Grant, the integrated audio is a fun feature and Kristopher I really enjoyed the graphic design of your story. Overall I'm impressed you were able to put something together in such a short time and with very little announcement of this contest.

I'm very happy to let you know, all three of your entries have been selected and you're all getting passes to MIX09 :)

Just email your contact information to me at: adam.kinney@microsoft.com and I'll send you the rest of the details. Congratulations!

I do have some new ones to add to the list, but no Windows Media Player ones. I'll see what I can find.

Re: PhotoSuru, an innovative photo-viewing WPF application | Adam Kinney, Continuum Explorer

AdamKinney — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:48:31 -0000

I ended up writing a seperate ASP.Net page that would request my Flickr feed rss, transform it to the Subscription format for PhotoSuru and then output that as XML. There was a heirarchy of feeds to create though and realized I should refactor it into an ASP.Net application though to handle all of the URL requests. I'd still like to put something together but haven't found the time yet unfortunately.

Yes it can, actually. The project linker links any projects in VS. It can be used regardless of project type.
