Disabling UI during Partial Rendering
During the conversation about the different types of ASP.NET Applications, there was an issue that was talked when using AJAX Enabled ASP.NET Applications, and that issue was the fact that the HTTP protocol only supports single call by request, and in order to prevent information from getting lost in the communication between Client and Server, the best way is to disable the UI during the Partial Rendering, and in order to do this there are several techniques, like placing a div on top of all the UI in order to prevent the user from selecting another options during the execution.

Back after a long absence
I'm back after a longer absence that was thought, and while I was absent a lot has happened. The most important thing was the fact that I became a father and that for me is indescribable and made me stay some time without any sleep, but I'm recovering, now that my daughter is on her 2nd week of life. Other situation that was very interesting was the MVP Global Summit 2008 in Seattle, it was absolutely fantastic from the technical to the personal side. I was able to meet some more Portuguese MVP's, and it was great and more than that I was able to exchange experiences with them. Very good indeed.
