Amazon S3
Very interesting service. I am curious to see how it’s going to do commercially, especially given the free availability of GoogleBase (although mechanisms for programmatic interaction with the GoogleBase service have not been published yet, at least not ones that I am aware of). It’s interesting to note the service’s design. They provide both HTTP- (REST…

Oh no!!! No traveling for 2-4 months!
What can you do to someone who lives to travel?… Tell them that they are not allowed to travel!!! I am currently in the US on an O-1 visa. Microsoft has started the process for my green card application only a couple of months after my arrival. What I didn’t realize was that once the…

“Behind the Code” with Jim Gray
Few months ago, the “Behind the Code” show featuring Jim Gray was shot at the Microsoft studios. I had the honor of being part of the small audience. As always, Jim was great. The show is about Jim and his professional life rather than a specific technology topic. Highly recommended.

“Love Monkey” 🙁
One of the very few shows I watch on the US TV (Love Monkey) has been cancelled 🙁 I can’t understand. They had a great concept of guest musicians, the main character was a Bob Dylan fun (plus many great artists got mentioned during the show), they had great original music, the show was refreshingly different.…

“Post-Modern”
Woke up this morning with fever. On Friday we finished a milestone for our project and presented it internally. It went great. However, instead of sleeping all weekend as a way to ‘relax’ from the team’s last sprint, I did the exact opposite. I went out on Friday night for dinner with friends. Dave Ingham, who turned…
