I can’t wait till we buy our own house, or have one built (that would be ideal based on the topic at hand). The past couple of evenings I’ve been working on getting the TV setup in the new house, well one of the TVs. Tonight I finally got things going, the problem I’ve run into is the darn wiring. I need to get wiring for the side surround speakers, and ideally I would get rear and side speakers hooked up. Running wires for these is such a pain.

In a perfect world I would build a house with all the wiring built in as the house is put together.

Anyone have any experience with wireless speaker setups?

A day or so ago Joe posted a link to the speaker announcements for the OpenForce 07 conference in Vegas in November. There are some very cool topics that will be covered out in Vegas. I hope to meet as many of you as possible, and see you in my presentation as well! Here's a link to the OpenForce page. Here's a list from the current Speaker's page.

The resources, approach and business model required to manage and grow a large Open Source project such as DotNetNuke are substantially different than those required for a commercial software company.

DGN102: The Quiet Enterprise Web Revolution: DotNetNuke as a WeaponMark TrenchardEnterprises are grappling with ways to reduce system complexity and cost yet increase capability, speed to market, and flexibility. Current web technologies give enterprises the rare opportunity to get it all and the ones that get it are quietly reinvesting in web architectures to achieve competitive advantage. In this session, Mark looks at DotNetNuke from an IT leader’s chair and believes that the solution has a strong value proposition for companies that want to build out a multi-portal platform with a rich set of shared services.  He will discuss the DotNetNuke advantages from an IT leadership view and explore the dimensions that are unique to larger enterprises that may need additional investment. SKIN DESIGN DSD201: Creating Accessible DotNetNuke Skins Using CSSLee SykesCathal ConnollyIn this session you will learn how to create a clean, simple, search engine-friendly and accessible skin that takes advantage of the features that CSS layout designs provide: accessible, flexible, search-engine-friendly, small file size, and cross-browser compatible. You will also become familiar with issues that need to be considered when creating skins that meet accessibility legislation and are XHTML compliant. We will take a freely available XHTML- & CSS-based skin, convert it to a DotNetNuke skin, and configure it to ensure that it renders compliant markup.
