Automation as the root of all evil "Anything that can be done for you, automatically, can be done to you, automatically." - David C. Wyland First, I had to get the entire dependency stack into the mix. While some of the dependent libraries had VCProject files, some didn't. Worse, even if they had them, you couldn't tell with a degree of certainty that they were compiled...( read more ) Read More...

Microsoft is embarking on a 15-city road show to help customers learn more about available solutions that may address their unique interoperability needs. This is just another of the many ways Microsoft continues to respond to customers working in heterogeneous environments, a mission that was enhanced by the announcement of our Interoperability Principles last year. The road show is being organized by Microsoft TechNet, and will stop in cities from Mountain View on the West coast to Denver, Atlanta...( read more ) Read More...
Several years ago I was helping a musician friend of mine set up a web site to use as a promotional site for his live performances. I opted for a simple, PHP-based Content Management System (CMS) that wouldn’t require any special knowledge for him to post new information, and would be – famous last words – easy for me to set up and maintain. Not having done professional web development for some time, I quickly found myself on the phone to one of my PHP guru friends. After editing three configuration...( read more ) Read More...
I was fortunate enough to spend last Thursday with a group of LAMP engineers who have some experience with Windows Server and IIS, and who are based in Japan.
