I didn't mind the occasional SPAM, and about 10% of the comments showed that they actually skimmed the site, so I was letting them through, but it just got ridiculous. I must have been posted on some site somewhere.

I'll try for a max turn-around of 24 hours for any comment. I'm only going to filter out the obnoxious SPAM, anything off-topic is OK.

 I'll be putting out a new Beta release later today with the new PC and dev environment. We'll see how it goes, and problems the Beta testers see. After all the findable bugs are fixed, I may take a couple of days to see if I can get the touch experience better. The left button select, right button move works well with a mouse, and it's usable via touch, but not as nice as it could be.

Still here,still working away. I had some issues, but everything should be cleared up now, so I'm ready for the final sprint to get everything finished, packaged, etc.

Here's my new development environment.

8Gb Quad core laptop running Windows 7 64-bit.

Visual Studio 2010 for development and release builds.

I'm using a productivity tool called CodeRush from DevExpress.

I'm using TFS for my source code control and bug tracking.

My backups are being done right now wilh Microsoft 'Live Mesh' I'm backing up TFS, I'm also backing up my development directory, and several other directories. These backups are going both to three other machines on my home netowrk, and also up to 'the cloud.' Live mesh gives you a free 5 Gigabyte account which has been enough. I also pull off DVDs about once a month. The TFS backups are daily, and the backups of my development directory are near real-time.

I'm also doing daily backups to a second drive attached to the system.
