It’s been a while since the last Copenhagen Geek Dinner, so it’s about time for another successful evening in the company of fellow geeks and geekets. It is also time for the Copenhagen Geek Dinner to move into its own group on Facebook, so hurry up and join. I’ve also added a few pictures from the last event.
The upcoming event is also handled by Facebook, so go join the event directly on Facebook where you’ll also be able to see who will participate.
The date is May 7th.
Today, I finally deployed the new widget framework of BlogEngine.NEXT to my blog. It’s been under development for some months now, so it’s nice to see it in action for the first time on a live site.
For some time now, I’ve wanted to write new widgets but didn’t have any places to put them. Before now that is. The first thing that came to my mind was to write a Twitter widget displaying my last Twits. You can see the result on the side panel to the right. The widget just took about an hour to write.
The video
If you are interested in seeing how the Twitter widget works or to get a sneak peak of the widget framework, then here is a new video that explains the Twitter widget. If you watched the video displaying the early prototype of the widget framework, you might notice a lot of the changes and improvements we’ve done so far.

The code
If you run the latest and greatest build of BlogEngine.NET available from CodePlex, then you can add the Twitter widget to your own blog. Just download the zip file below, and put the Twitter folder into your blog’s widget folder.
