This is a short, off-topic rant. Please bare with me. In an effort to spark some life into my home laptop (which is about four years old and fighting like a champ), I've gone through the list of services running on my machine to try and stop those that...
I don't use GMail as my primary address, but it's a very useful service. It's lean, fast (if you use the old UI) and it's portable (duh). My first GMail account was for my personal use, to get notifications about comments to my blog, etc. As I found GMail...
As much as I love the idea behind extension methods , I can't help but start to think about how it could be used for malicious purposes. Take this scenario: You're a disgruntled employee of Evil Inc., the makers of the well known library VeryUsefulAssemblies...
"What would you have done if you weren't a computer programmer?" An HR recruiter asked me this today in a job interview. To be perfectly honest, I have never been able to come up with a good answer, not because I haven't tried, but because there's no...

Roy posted about Microsoft Israel looking for presenters , so I said 'what the heck,' and applied. Last week they let me know I was invited to lecture about a subject of my choosing (as long as it's MS-related, duh) at 8pm tonite. 'The lecture should...
Americans have their thinkgeek, j!nx, etc. Now Israelies have their own geeks-oriented online shop - GeeKim . p.s. It looks a bit amateurish, but inside sources claim it's facing massive reconstruction and a flood of new products.
I'm really liking some of the things Microsoft Research is working on, like Singularity and Spec# , to name a few. Go read about them - I just hope some of them would leak into the real world one day. :)
