We're travelling across the pond this week to Europe so will be dining on plane food and vending machines and fighting with power adapters for our laptops. If anyone spots tired, hungry guys in CodeProject T-shirts buy them a coffee please.

Looking for a Job?

In the meantime we're hiring! (Again). Do you live close to Toronto, love software development and have an interest in online advertising? Advertising should never be offensive, annoying or off topic and we need someone who cares as much about coding as we do to help us continue to bring sanity and some serious smarts into the industry. Curious? Email Eric at eric@codproject.com.

Are you a blogger?

We have a feature on The Code Project that allows you to share your technical blogs with other developers from the comfort of your very own blog. If you write technical blog posts and want to get those posts out to a wider audience, with an added bonus of getting more visitors to your own blog, then use our Blog feed aggregator.

cheers,
