Antispam for pblog
I have been getting so many spam comments, I’ve decided to spend few minutes adding antispam support for pblog. I suspect that the spammers will manage to bypass the very simple protection I’ve built but it’ll do for now. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. If you don’t type the numbers in…

Yesterday, I was talking with Mike Buschman of Windows Live Academic Search and I set myself a challenge: I suggested to him that I could demonstrate the integration of scholarly publication search directly within Word 2007, all during the course of the presentation we were just about to attend (I had already seen the slides so I could code during…

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs keynotes
I just finished watching Bill Gates‘ keynote at CES from last Sunday (I know, I should have been reviewing papers instead). I watched Steve Jobs‘ keynote at Macworld from yesterday. Wow!

Panos is here
Panos is visiting Microsoft and he’s staying in Seattle for few days. It’s great to see him. Need to think what we are going to be doing over the weekend. I went to pick him up from building 41 today to go out for dinner. It took me 2 1/2 hours to cover a distance…
