Microsoft Popfly (internally codenamed Springfield) is a website that allows users to create web pages, program snippets, and mashups using the Microsoft Silverlight rich internet applications runtime and the set of online tools provided. Popfly is currently in Beta stage of development. It requires users to log in with their Windows Live ID, and provide additional information about themselves when logging in for the first time to use Popfly.

http://www.popfly.com | I will be giving a tutorial on how to create a game on popfly. I personally think making a game on popfly all boils down to 3 simple general steps.
1. Ideas
2. Creating the game
3. Tweak the game to make it better
I will be teaching mainly the second stage, the creation of the game. I will pull in some simple functions which most people will be using when they are creating a game on popfly. Without further ado, we will start the fun!
On Saturday, Hairiandy, Sunny, Kelvin, Jireh, Kenneth, me and 2 other friends of Kelvin went to Microsoft Walk the Success Lane & Mash-it-up Awards at One Marina Boulevard.
We have the following,
It was really a talk that teaches me a lot of things. We then have a small chat with different Microsoft Empolyees and some people I know from MSP interview. The top 3 finalist for Mash It Up! also presented their projects, there is one which I think is really good which is the inviting.me. They got 3rd though but I would say its really good effort put in and they are pretty useful too!

What is C#? ( Wiki to what is C# )
Anyway it was fun. 3 letters to summarise the whole UX ( User Experience ). Haha
This maybe useful for me in the future.
//This is how to comment in C#
//This is how to make a message box come out, Message.Show
//(CONTENT OF MESSAGE BOX, TITLE OF THE MESSAGE BOX)
Message.Show("Guo Hong", "Title")
In php, to add things on to a string variable, we do
$des = "Guo Hong is ";
$des .= "handome.";
but in C#,
string des = "Guo Hong is ";
des += "handome.";
Notice the += and .= ?
Haha, hopefully tomorrow will be more interesting! 😀
Continuing from where I left off from What Guo Hong has been busy about?
Facebook ads
I will provide more information about this next time. Basically I am playing with the Facebook ads platform and Clickbank.
Learning PHP
Simply the title, i am learning PHP again.
Microsoft Student Partners
I decided to join the MSP ( Microsoft Sudent Partners ) and give it a try. The first round of interview which is held in school is so nervous. 4 people keeps asking you questions and its like so scary. I managed to get into the second round. I am just waiting for them to give me a date to go and have the interview.
National Wushu & Sanshou Championship 2008
To be honest, this happen so rushed and fast. I was busy during that period as well so I didn’t really “care” about the competition. I quite forget what happen, too many things happen at that period. I got 4th losing 0.01 to 3rd. Haha. It was a close fight. Nevertheless, its nice! 😀 Took a few photos that time with friends. Newly-made one or “old” friends. Thats why there is a chinese saying 以武会友 . Its really so true.
Detective Conan
For those who never hear this before, this is also called “Case Closed”. I really love how Conan think who is the murderer. Do find time and watch as it will increase your intelligence!
