I have just finished up what was a relative breeze of coding, the Six Minutes To Release forums. My major stopping point was the fact that I didn't really want to have two instances of the paging control - the control that shows you the pages available in a list of, say, threads or posts - and I spent a real long time trying to figure out how to template it.
I fell quite short and decided that it was just going to be easier to put the control on the page twice. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to be able to do things easier. I did learn a lot about control templates and such along the way, so it wasn't a total loss.
But everything else was smooth. There were annoying, bite-sized bugs that I had to squish, but that's normal with most code. I still contend that XAML is one of the easiest languages I've ever had to work with, and I've only been working with it for two months or so at the most.
Anyway, if you're a World of Warcraft nut, hop on over to the Six Minutes website and check us out. The site's starting to fill out!

Yeah, it's season 11. But the OTL Season 6 highlight reel is up, this time Fireball has taken the reins! Check out this video jam packed full of kills, deaths, silliness, and Sirius puns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXstLVjnaGo
Bing is so bad. https://otl.gg is being blocked in their search results, and Bing webmaster tools are absolutely useless, not telling me why it's being blocked.
Does anyone know of some way to get a human to look at this and see what's wrong with it? #bing#microsoft
Me and my wife, despite buying a house of nice size, always seem to get in each other's way, be it in the kitchen, on the stairs, it doesn't matter. She's all up in my two square feet.
I often joke that all I want for Christmas is my two square feet.
I got the honor and privilege of calling the NES Tetris NTSC world record today while running Classic Tetris Wars on my Twitch channel for the very first time. It was thrilling. Congratulations to Blue Scuti for his 6,609,220 level 153 performance. https://clips.twitch.tv/DiligentDeadGoldfishDoritosChip-cx_vDMWAjKaZUK6N
Six Degrees of Sunday, my 6DoF long play Twitch series, is getting revived for 2024. Plus, I will be producing Six'd Off, a companion YouTube series showcasing each game.
@shanselman Speaking of Overload, here's something you may be interested in... recently, some community members released "Overload First Strike", a single player Overload campaign that is a complete remake of the original Descent First Strike campaign.
It can work with just the original game, but it works best with "olmod" as it takes advantage of some of the features it provides: https://olmod.overloadmaps.com
