Okay...here are two hints that should help:

• The food we were served
• And what we did

Captain JiNX...sounds like you know exactly what you're doing. DaleRoss...JiNX won our sixth Hard Hat Challenge, and unfortunately, he can't win a second time, so you still have time. I'll hold off on the hints unless others would like a couple.

For those who'd prefer to download the Hard Hat Challenge image, here you go.

Even I think I'm anal! How anal is that!?

dnjake...glad to hear that the PDC05 session recordings were useful! It just so happens that I was the guy behind that project. You're right that it took us 3-4 weeks to get the recordings online. I remember that our bandwidth usage was insane. Brian has upped the game with his 24-hour turnaround time. Truly amazing.

For inspiration, here are links to a few prior Show Off winners from MIX08 and PDC05:

1. Crayon Physics Deluxe
2. Real Time Physics in Silverlight
3. Wii Data Visualization and Multipoint Nonsense
4. 40 - My Life in Silverlight 2
5. Bar Code Blitz
6. /cameraFlow Labyrinth

Another recent episode with Scott Guthrie. Channel 9 has had so many great videos over the past week, you may have missed it.

Excellent job, Pihlen! You have the correct answer, and you're the winner of this Hard Hat Challenge. Congratulations.

Please send an e-mail to pdccount (at) microsoft.com, and we'll coordinate delivery of your very limited edition internal PDC2008 t-shirt.

Your artwork is now prominenty displayed outside of my office. I've already received a few comments in the couple of minutes it's been up.

Awesome avatar change! Love it!
