Here is a second application of my own creation: InterUrbain.
This utility application allows you to determine if calls between two phone numbers are local or long-distance. Simply enter the area code and the first three digits of the number to determine their distances. Simple, effective, and most importantly free!
If you have any suggestions, comments, or need support, do not hesitate to contact me (see the link at the top of this page).

After a few months of experimenting with programming for Windows Phone 7, but without really publishing the application, I decided to try to launch an application that would be published: Sports MTL. An application that allows you to know the status of various recreational/sports venues such as ice rinks, slides, and cross-country ski trails.
This application is available in French and English, in trial or paid version. If you have any suggestions or comments about this application, please visit the UserVoice site for Sports MTL.

UserVoice is really good for that task and its looks even better than Connect for feedback, which is still use for bugs and technical issues. But I don’t they are any list detailing theses site. So here’s my short list, and if you found one, let me know!
For a fifth year in a row I’ve been renew as a Microsoft MVP Visual C#!

Happy new year!
More than a year ago, I proposed, on the newly created Stack Exchange Area 51, to have a version of Stack Overflow for French-speaking developers. To my great surprise, French-speaking developers followed this proposal and it is now in the “Commitment” phase, or engagement, without even having advertised it!

Microsoft has launched the Windows PowerShell Command Builder for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products and Microsoft Office 365 allowing you to create PowerShell commands graphically and more easily than if you had to type them yourself.
It is a simple Silverlight application but it allows you to make queries (SharePoint Server 2010, Foundation 2010, and Office 365) that can be more complex:
Happy PowerShell
