Second and last day of this stop of the Microsoft EMEA Architect's Tour in Oslo, Norway. Today I am going to talk about Aspect-Oriented Programming, which is fun.

From tomorrow the blog will likely be silent for about a week, because both I and my notebook will have to undergo surgery and we'll both be out-of-service of about a week. I need to get some pretty ugly dental surgery done and the notebook needs to get some pretty ugly electronic surgery done. Patricia and my partners decided that this would be a good time to make sure that I definitely won't work when I shouldn't. I guess I will take it easy for a change and possibly work on my XBox skills if I can. ;)
