Now wait, before you say anything, I want you to do me a favor, I want you to pretend we're just having a chat. It's you and me, we were just at a conference, or an expo, or a workshop or something.

Happy mid-week, all. GEO CODING. <cringe> we're always afraid of things we don't understand, no? Well, looks like I will be implementing it in my application (the dubious 007). I'm always excited to learn new things, that's part of my charm... SO I'm going to the Microsoft talk about working with...
