Silly as it may sound, but this is probably one of the only things that I used to modify in core from the early days.  This is because my earlier customers who have grown with the DotNetNuke™ system just expected to have this field.  So now I actually got around to introducing it to the framework, one less thing for me to worry about now.

Why is this so important?  Well, when logged in as Admin or Host or logged in with Administration rights to this module, the email address of "portal Admin" was used when...

The event went off with flying colours.  The booth was a lot nicer than the one I had last year and the atmosphere was electric.



We drummed up a large audience for the Lunch Time session.  This in return gave us a lot of visitors to our booth.

The meeting went on for some 3 hours with 3/4's of an hour conference call with Shaun in Canada.  It was 07:30 am PST, 16:30 CET and boy he was already alive and alert.  Around 30 people listening intently to what he had to say. 

The dry run presentation went really well, some good feedback.  I can wait until MS Dev Days.  I have managed to secure a plasma screen at the event so I can run demo's for anyone interested.  I also believe I will be doing some breakout sessions with the major Dutch ISP's.

These past few weeks I have been working on the Flash and Windows Media integration.  The integration was simple but it does not handle any of the medial formats parameters at present.

Various formats are supported by the windows media player and so good analysis needs to be done on how best  to support this interaction.
