Checkout the following images. This amazing flat screen was in one of the videos shown at the Asia MVP Regional Summit couple of months back. It was one of the coolest things I saw at the Summit. I'm sure that the folks who was @ the Summit are familiar of this cool screen.

I have been searching for more info on this for a long time. After searching a lot found these images :) If any one got more info about this please send me.

Imagine your screen is this wide. How cool that would be. I better start saving some money to get one of these (if it is for real) as soon as it comes out.

I think this is going to be a very handy tool for web designers. Because I have seen designers try and create very messy table structures just to achieve the immediate requirements. But when it comes to changes sometimes they to re-do the entire table structure. With this tool they can see how the tables are done in popular sites. and then learn from it.

9th Friday I sent out the first newsletter of the .NET User Group Sri Lanka Weekly newsletter ;)

During the week most of us are very busy with our work schedules, and sometimes misses to checkout the important sites etc. So my target is to give a summary of the activities happened in the forum during the week and also give an update about important .NET related news happened around the world throughout the week. Whole idea is to keep the User Group active throughout the month. Feedback I received so far for the first newsletter is great.

On 17th Saturday I created the second newsletter. But unfortunately newsletter engine in the site started giving some problems. Click Here to see the list of newsletters. Every week this page will be updated with the new newsletter. I'll be sending the last weeks newsletter as soon as the issue in the newsletter engine is fixed.
