Like Roy I did also the test:

Bill Gates was right when he predicted the arrival of Terabyte in our daily vocabulary. But it seems that some companies are moving faster than expected.

If I have to define a wish list wish for the next release Whidbey I would like surely to add this.

I have a web project A deployed on a production server. After few months of good services, the site needed some new features and improvements.

So I deployed another project A on another development server B to implement and test the changes.

The difficulty here is the site A in production must continue its life cycle with daily updates.

So I am stuck here by the fact that I can't have on my development machine twice the same project using the same name, for two different servers.

Of course I can change the name on the server B, but when I would like to put it in production, I will have a lot of issues with page inheritance because they refer to B and not A.

On my development PC, obviously my local IIS don't let me having twice the same name

Just to say thank you to all the people who give me some help and support this week end regarding the mess I had with some SYN flood attack.

The registry tweak worked fine. So now the site is working well again, but a big but here, the attacker still continue is dirty job.

Thankfully the Firewall block well everything, but it's quite amazing that nothing can be done against such assholes.

I am really angry against the blokes who launched a SYN flood attack on one of my servers three weeks ago.

The problem is this continue again and again. I am so tired and fed up to play cat and mouse with spoof IPs.

The firewall resist well, blocking the attack and sending me back an alert by email.

But sadly, I can't make the site performing at his best. It seems that blocking is not enough, and the site is so slooow when the attacker come back.

At the same time, Microsoft's Research division is making the new language available to product teams inside the company for possible use or inclusion in forthcoming products.

Polyphonic C# extends the C# programming language with new asynchronous concurrency abstractions, based on the join calculus. The language presents a simple and powerful model of concurrency which is applicable both to multithreaded applications running on a single machine and to the orchestration of asynchronous, event-based applications communicating over a wide area network.

Vulcan announce a new small PC the Flipstart. And the brain behind Vulcan is only the cofounder of Microsoft Paul Allen.
So should be a serious stuff.
