From yucky to yummy! Dear fellow frequent travellers, senators, 100K platinum red carpet frequence plus members and all you other people that spend too much time in narrow steel tubes that struggle with gravity riding on tons of flammable liquids through overcrowded skies: This is our website. Airline food. Photographed. From none to bad to good to stunning. (Yesterday, something like this was about all I got) 11:36:52 PM  comments []

More WS-Reliability issues.... Werner Vogels lists more points that are problematic in WS-Reliability and I absolutely agree. As he points out, this specification is full of the type of problems that he and myself are pointing out and his and my list combined are probably just the ones that can be easily spotted within the first 10 minutes of cross-reading the document. 11:13:15 PM comments []

I finally bought an anti-spam tool today. The noise to signal ratio on my email account went from 1:5 to 10:1 within the last 3-4 months and I really had to do something about it. $20 for Spam Inspector is certainly not too much and the tool works very well with Outlook -- it's catching about 95% of all spam and didn't throw out any "good" mail, yet. 10:38:04 PM comments []

"It's an ugly planet, a bug planet." (Starship Troopers) -- one of my projects is stuck at what I've isolated to be a problem that I am having with .NET 1.1's garbage collector. I am doing some very, very dirty things in that particular (lab-) project, which is supposed to provide some nice, new extensibility points for Enterprise Services components. While everything was working quite well in 1.0, the updated garbage collector doesn't seem to be as forgiving as the previous one. What's ugly about provoking such bugs and heap corruption in a "concurrent GC" environment is that the application continues to run fine until the GC starts running at some point and the GC thread just tanks with a fatal error (for which I can't blame it) and tears down the whole application domain. I sort of expected such problems to pop up and that's why I haven't written or talked about it or have shown this at any presentation, yet. The extension set is indeed pretty close to what Ingo wished to see a couple of weeks ago (and he has already seen it). Imagine AOP for serviced components - that sort of thing. 5:43:26 PM comments []

Yet another European Microsoft Regional Director is blogging: Andreas Eide from Norway. Andreas runs one of the most active .NET user-groups in Europe (the Norwegian .NET User Group), is co-author of a couple of books, a fabulous person to listen to, talk to, work with and work for (according to own experience and all that I've heard on my tours through Norway), and .... find out yourself: RSS, Radio, Blog. 9:48:00 AM comments []

I installed Greg's "News Gator" RSS aggregation plug-in for Outlook yesterday for the first time and it absolutely rocks. If you use Outlook, read weblogs and still haven't heard about this tool, yet: go get it. 9:32:58 AM comments []
