“Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?
Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?
Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre or ghost?
If the answer is “yes,” then don’t wait another minute. Pick up the phone and call the professionals..”

But its only June?! Why are you posting about Halloween?

Yea its almost July and for us that means the beginning of halloween planning. Weird huh?

Ahh Twitter! To be honest I still don’t fully get the fascination everyone has with twitter. But I’m obviously wrong here, otherwise it wouldn’t be the big deal it is today.

I suppose if I lived in a larger city, had more friends and maybe a more active social life; I might have more use for it. Although having a blog might change that. Maybe I’m just a little antisocial or something.

BTW I currently do not have a twitter account for this blog, but I will soon and when I do I will make the annoucement, I hope I’m worth following. It could be quite the ego shattering experience.

So why are you posting about it? Well, they sure do have a nice development platform. And I just had to check it out!

While I’m learning silverlight behind the screen, I thought I’d put a little article together about setting up your development environment for the Facebook Development platform. This little example is for use with a PHP setup. Its really pretty easy and quick to get everything up and running. Just read the article and if you feel the need leave me some comment love.

This blog has been here since 2006, albeit inactive the majority of that time, I think I’ve only ever deleted 1 spam message in all that time. But of course now, after an update and a few new posts and Wham-o! Spam-o! Go figure. How obnoxious is that? Have a blog up for a couple of days and here they come, posting comments about gibberish, male enhancing products and all that other fun stuff. Just beautiful. 

So I started looking into working with silverlight today and so far so good. I have to say, its pretty slick to work with. One hurdle I am going to have to overcome is working with xaml, which is the gui “language” that silverlight uses for its interfaces. So let me ease into this and start with a simple what you need and how to start a new project.
