I've moved a long way since my last post. I've graduated from university and have since been working on a new Digital Photo Frame called
Momento).
My role at the company involves developing the software that lives on the pic frame using the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework running on a Windows CE 5 device. I am primarily responsible for the Windows Media Connect funtionality to ensure that pictures are displayed instantly over a wireless network from any XP/Vista machine. I have also inplemented the frame-side Windows SideShow features to display any SideShow compatible gadget (ie. what is currently playing on Windows Media Player or how many unread emails do I have?).
Now that the project is nearing the end of the first release I got a chance today to discuss the Windows SideShow and WMC functionality to the
Microsoft UK Partner TV team. It turned out to be a very successful (error free!) demonstration where I showcased the Windows Vista integration with the Momento frame. When the link is up I will post it here!
In the meantime I wish you all a Merry Christmas (decorations are already up in my home town!)!
