The Code Project has moved!
Over the weekend we unplugged and unscrewed our servers from their old home and, like geese fleeing the inexorable Winter, headed down Highway 404 to find a newer, possibly warmer, home for our servers. Some didn't make it, some are still licking their wounds, but most of them are doing well in their new racks and (presumably) making new friends. Hopefully the worst anyone saw while the move was in place was a slightly late Daily Insider newsletter, and vague recollections of a moving van in place of the homepage for a couple of hours on Saturday.
We're also pretty chuffed to announce that CodeProject search results are now appearing in within searches on MSDN.com. We're sure the MSDN team would love your suggestions and feedback, and if that involves chants of "higher! higher!" for our results then who are we to stop you?
We also recently announced the winners of our Windows Azure App Competition. Congratulations to all the winners who each won an Intel i7 laptop
