The Panic Button

I use FeedDemon as my desktop newsreader and today, while looking around the UI I found a strange menu item: "Hit the Panic Button!".

menu_item

The button doesn't have the "..." that usually marks menu items that open a new dialog before doing something, so it frightened me a bit. But I finally decided to click on it and a dialog appeared:

panic_button

It's a really interesting feature: when you go on vacations and you come back and see 10k unread items, you just hit the Panic Button, and you are back to only one or two days of unread items. Cool, isn't it?

Second Italian ALT.NET conference

After the "small success" of the first UGIALT.net mini conference in February, UGIALT.net is organizing another conference in June.

The second UGIALT.net conference will take place on Saturday June 14th, and will take place at the offices of Avanade Italy, in the center of Milano.

As for the other conference there will not be a fixed agenda, but the event will be a day-long discussion on the topics decided by the participants, probably developing a small app to focus on the various stages of the development.

If you are Italian and want to know more about the event, please read my Italian blog: Seconda UGIALT.net conference - 14 Giugno 2008 - Milano

If someone outside Italy want to take part in the discussion the registrations are open on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=13361168300.
