Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate this holiday, and a Happy and prosperous New Year to those who work on the basis that this week is the last one for this year.
The CodeProject team are, in no particular order, resting, working on devious new features, attending to 6 months of backlogged email, drawing intricate planning diagrams on large, moodily lighted whiteboards, and/or sitting around at home eating leftovers, drinking a few cold ones, and enjoying various new-borns. Some of us are definitely not watching the cricket.
We'll be back onboard next week, but in the meantime why not take the time to sign up for our new Mobile newsletter for those who have seen the future and seen that it fits in your pocket.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
