Wow… amazing photos submitted for Bing
I submitted few of my photos for the internal-to-Microsoft version of this photograph competition, few months ago. No surprise, mine didn’t have a chance when they can get such gorgeous photographs!

Microsoft and GPLv2 – I bet you weren’t expecting this 🙂
I didn’t know about it until last Friday when Alex Wade told me. Today, Microsoft announced the submission of GPLv2 code into the Linux kernel!!! Unbelievable. As Jim Zemlin characteristically said: “Hell has frozen over, the seas have parted”. :-)) You can read all about it in this NetworkWorld article (and I am sure all…

Woo hoo… pblog talks AtomPub
It really bothered me that I couldn’t blog from my MacBook Pro. Well, I did manage to post an entry but the particular blog editor didn’t offer a great experience. So far, Windows Live Writer is the best desktop client for blogging that I’ve used. Since I can’t have it on the Mac, I decided…

The growth of Acer and lightweight OSes

Blogging from the Mac
I am evaluating different blog editors for the Mac. I am posting this from ScribeFire so be warned about what you might see here. Since I am on the road, I can’t test it against my test installation of pblog. Oh… I miss Windows Live Writer. What a great little application.

“Ian Robinson and Jim Webber on Web-based Integration”
My Web-book co-authors gave an interview to Stefan Tilkov for InfoQ. Fun! How can you not like that happy face of my best friend Jim? 🙂 (the one on the left) Ahhhh! I miss working with my pal. Every time I stay at his place and we talk geek, I remember the fun times of…

Another installment of idiotic behavior by Savas
I have the habit of reporting my idiotic behavior from time-to-time, when I believe that I deserve to be publicly ridiculed. Remember when I put my foot in my mouth or when I missed my flight (and then did it again)? Well, I think this might top those. I blame it on being absentminded these…
