• Travelling never stops

    It seems that I am constantly on the road, which is cool because I like travelling and meeting people. I just got back from two days in Brighton, UK, where I attended the JISCJoint Programmes Meeting.

  • WS-Eventing implementation deployed!

    I really like travelling because I can spend more time coding.

  • Pat Helland and the Metropolis

    Wow!!! How I wish I could be at TechEd 2004 in Amsterdam. Pat Helland has a series of talks lined up that seem extremely interesting. This is the abstract of his ARC402 talk: Services provide a formal boundary of computing. Inside a service we typically find data that is needed for the operation of the
