The Monaco trip is winding down. We had an amazing time on Sunday celebrating dad's birthday. We started with a trip aboard Paul's rib style boat. Perfect for a nice short trip. We sailed along the coast in the photo that my father is standing in front of here. It was better in real life!

After a swim down the coast, we came back to a great spot on the beach. Here is a shot as we were leaving, and my dad coming back after a swim. Kevin and Paul needed to give him a helping hand.

The original PGC Golf program written in DNN 3 was lost when I switched ISP hosts and decided to upgrade to DNN 4.0. That along with the league not being active any longer, led to it's demise. I found an old backup of the application and DB, so decided to install it to see what it looked like.
Boy is it ugly, from an UI presentation perspective and also from an application perspective. I shoe-horned logic into the stored procedures and code behind to get the application running for the start of the 2005 Golf season, and well, phase 2 never came...

What a great place to enjoy yourself. Everyone here is having fun, either vacationing, or spending money planning their next vacation!
We got a quick tour of a brand new Yacht getting ready for it's first work. The rooms are larger than many entire apartments. Most people's yearly salaries could not charter the boat for 2 days. The captain and crew were very friendly showing off their new vessel.
Earlier in the day I took my Father on a walking tour to the casino at Monte Carlo and then up to the Palace and the Oceanographic Museum. Pop was a real trooper as he climbed the many stairs, one at a time, with breaks!

An exciting new feature is coming to the standard Blog Module for Dotnetnuke in the very near future. The Blog Team is putting the finishing touches on a number of great enhancements, including support for the metablog API, and enhanced SEO support. So this is the first post for walkspoiled.com using Windows Live Writer. Might as well test with a photo as well from the Monaco Trip. My brother Kevin and Dad enjoying a game of chess from the terrace of his flat.

My Brother Kevin highlights some of Monaco's landmarks as we prepare to do some touring (we were getting the newspaper so Dad could do the word Jumble).
Kevin has been in Monaco for over 6 years and I finally made it here to visit.
Today we go to Italy for the weekend. Very Nice!

www.lisafaski.com went live today with a template from www.freecsstemplates.org.
Lisa picked out the template and the site went up pretty quickly.
See is happy with the first draft and now we can add some pages and content.
Hopefully it will be a busy summer for Lisa!
