My first PopFly Mashup

As promised here is the first SilverLight PopFly Mashup I have made. This is very simple and overlays my Flickr Photos on Microsoft Virtual Earth.

Now you can see where we took the photos.

Here it is. View the whole map here.

Mix on Campus Wrap Up

Great line up today.

We had a chap from Qantm speaking up the semantic web, virtualisation technologies, mashups and more. He was followed by the Faraday Media guys talking about APML, but more generally talking about some of the issues surrounding a Web 2.0 startup in Queensland. We had a great presentation by Nick Hodge on Mashups using PopFly, I have created some already - watch out for them on here soon. Silverlight got a background explanation and also some cool demos - mind you PopFly uses Silverlight also. We also had lunch hosted by Microsoft, and I scored a cool shirt. In the morning there were 2 web development companies presenting some information for graduates who may be looking for developer roles. Clearly Speedwell were a cutting edge design company  while JSA was far more of a design company, firmly ensconced  in flash technology.

Nick Hodge

Awesome. Nick Hodge has taken the stage to talk about PopFly. Simultaneously the red bull girls came round handing out cans. As Nick was demonstrating the Live Messenger plugin on his side bar I sent him a quick message saying hi -I was drinking red bull up the back. As his site was live at the time on the screen and he was logged into msn, he answered my comment and waved to me. Next thing I know a Microsoft person handed me a cool Microsoft dress shirt!

Popfly is a cool free mashup application.

He who has ears to hear

Yesterday and this morning I was reading from Isaiah 6:9-10 - it shows that it is only those who actually hear that get the message – those who listen don’t.
