Like most fans and New Englanders, we don't like change. Whenever a game is not on NESN (i.e. Fox) I turn the sound down and put on WRKO, well low and behold, this year, I turned it on, there was Joe Castiglione, but then, where was that "Swing and a drive...Way Back! Way Back!" It was GONE!<br /><br />I did some searching to find out who these new announcers were Dave O'Brien and/or Glenn Geffner.<br /><br />To put it simply; "These guys suck"<br /><br />The Red Sox ownership have been great, but they BLEW this one totally (almost as much as Willy "No" Pena<br /><br />Joe & Jerry were a staple, please bring him back!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22101524-4929956298861768151?l=ericfontana.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eric Fontanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17578554444778615037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22101524.post-1159900429398141552006-10-03T14:33:00.000-04:002006-10-03T14:33:49.406-04:00George Shepard has a great FAQ on Windows Forms.

That was a real PITA. Anyhow; the plugin scrapes data from the <a href="http://www.smartraveler.com">SmarTraveler </a>website and presents it within the Trillian UI.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3126/2243/1600/trill3.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3126/2243/320/trill3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I wrote the plugin in Visual Studio 2005 in C++. The <a href="http://developer.ceruleanstudios.com:8080/index.php/ApiContents">Trillian API</a> really sucks; but here is a link<br />to the only online one that worked when I wrote the plugin.<br /><br />You can configure the routes you are interested in via the Trillian Preferences for the plugin.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3126/2243/1600/trill1.0.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3126/2243/320/trill1.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><h2>Trillian Traffic Plugin</h2><p>To get started; you will need Trillian Pro.
