Whew! It's been a while hasn't it? My new son was born 9/30 and I returned to work late October after infant care leave. We're all hard at work here getting Whidbey Beta 2 ready to ship. The holiday's hit and I spent a bunch of time on the road and on airplanes. I'm back from vacation now and sitting in a rountable discussion with VSIP partners at the January VSIP Dev Lab here in Redmond. Good suggestions and a lot of hard work getting partner products ready to run...

I'm going on infant care leave either tomorrow or next week. I'll most likely not blog anything during that time since I'll be enjoying my new son. I'll return to work at the end of October. The VSIP/Extensibility team is working hard to get Whidbey Beta 2 ready and everyone is heads down on that effort. It's going to be great to get that beta shipped!

When I first started this website/blog, it languished for a while before I got serious about putting up some content that anyone would really care about. I think there's enough now for some kind of critical mass, so rather than demanding that I continue to put up stuff that meets some kind of 'article' feel like I have in the past I'm going to generally switch over to more of a conversational feel with occasional articles on topics as I get the request or urge to post them.

The lame duck session of congress gives us an Intelligence
Overhaul.
Reality seems
to continue marching in Iraq, although not
everyone agrees.
Here is a pretty detailed article about the status
of Nuclear Weapons and Iran. Things that stand out to me is that the civilian
program issues is still a two year timeframe, alligations of military programs especially
related to two sites, Parchin and Lavisan II, an Iranian ...

I thought our care package might never make it, but earlier this week our big box of XBOX stuff arrived in Iraq for Steve Smith and his platoon. Check out pictures and info here: http://armyadvice.org/armysteve/archive/2004/11/22/932.aspx?Pending=true

I’ve hashed and rehashed this topic
numerous times. In particular, read this and this.
But the debate rages on, paralyzing otherwise perfectly normal development teams in
a frenzy of analysis paralysis over something that is basically not all that critical
in a good architecture.
I mean really. If you do a decent
job of architecting, it really doesn’t matter a whole hell of a lot which RPC protocol
you use, because you can alwa...

| 7. | | From VAX to Windows - Captured: 19-1-2005 17:29:50
When I first got involved with Microsoft
it was around 1990 or ’91. The world of the time was dominated by IBM, with
DEC a close second. If you wanted to network PCs you used Novell or Banyan. All PC
programs were DOS programs. “Windows” was just one of many graphical libraries
being used by software to handle drawing on the screen. And if you wanted to do real
work you used a mainframe or minicomputer.
At the time, M...

OK
everyone, it’s rant time again. This
one goes out to all the drama queens out there…OK wait, that’s not right. You
Drama Queens don’t know who you are, because you have your head so completely
wrapped up in your “me-verse” that you have no clue that what I’m
talking about applies to you. Never Mind…go
about your business.

George Soros is a Billionaire investment
capitalist who came to the attention of millions of Americans for the first time with
his 527 organization MoveOn.Org. From
where I’m sitting, George seems like kind of a nut-job and an egomaniac…but
then anyone who comes up with his own civil philosophy, and then spends billions of
dollars promoting it around the world would have to be…wouldn’t he? And
frankly, he’s the egomaniacal nu...

Like many compellingly outrageous
topics on education I’ve had brought to my attention, this one was found at Ernie’s
3-D Pancakes.
Here is an article
on the subject…and another.
The thrust of the story is, this
17-year-old kid wanted to get into an honors math course at his high school, and as
a condition of admission into this class he has to complete three very difficult calculus

As the browser wars continue, I think we can now rule out one. Internet Explorer on a Mac should be considered dead. Why? If you run IE on a Mac and load www.msn.com you will get a horribly rendered site. Seeing as this is Microsoft's browser and a Microsoft site, I would think they'd work together, but they don't. This leads me to believe that they no longer care about IE on a Mac and maybe we

| 13. | | Programming languages with .NET implementations - Captured: 16-10-2004 21:41:00
Yesterday, an inquiry came up internally over e-mail about whether a .NET implementation of the PL/I language existed. This caught my eye because PL/I was the first language that I encountered on a mainframe (at the University of Toronto, from whom I have a piece of paper ascribing that my "higher learning" took place there - occasionally, possibly, somewhat). I wasn't particularly fond of PL/I but it was my first mainframe language. Actually, to be entirely accurate, it was really SP/k - a ser...
