Robert M. Wagner Jr. sent me (and Chris) an update for IMCLI to support MSNP8. I haven’t tested it or integrated it into Messenger.NET yet, but here’s the code if you don’t want to wait.

I’ve spun up a GDN Workspace for IMCLI and Messenger.NET. Nothing’s up there yet until I get Chris‘s permission to post his code. Permission has been granted – I’ll have the code up there in the next day or so.

I’m not sure which of the post-game analysts said it, but the 2003 college football season is summed up with these words: “Any coach who doesn’t vote USC #1 is crazy”. Congrats to SC for their 28-14 victory over Michigan @ the Rose Bowl and for winning at least a share of the national championship. Now, my Sunday night is clear since I don’t need to watch the Nokia “Battle for Second Place” bowl (which I blogged a month ago).

Update: I added a link to a picture my son all decked out in his Trojan gear and smiling wide after winning the national championship (actually, his mother is making faces off camera).

Another Update: I found a great post on the subject of the BCS by Jason Salas via Bryan’s Weblog of Stuff. Jason is a .NET developer and a sportscaster, so his views on the BCS from both sides are facinating (though he did mix up the AP and the Coaches poll).
