What a day and decision on the car!
I had to go through the second phase of my Washington state driver’s license today. I took the theory test around 10 days ago. I turn up at the Kirkland office of the Department of Licensing only to find out that I didn’t have the necessary insurance documentation. I still have a rental car and…

Jim’s and my blogs were down

I too was against reference properties/parameters but in favour of WS-Addressing (btw… this was and is my personal view and not my current or…

Cool… I keep discovering new things that are going on around here. I just found out about the Microsoft art collection. They organize events with guests and exhibitions. This is sooo cool!!! Yesterday I got myself in to a football team; the “Blind Squirrels” 6-a-side indoor soccer (grrr!) team :-)) My footy pals from Newcastle would be…

RFC on cars 🙂
Hey all… I need your help… I am about to buy a car and in the next week or so I am planning to start the test drives. I like stylish, smallish, fun cars. Unfortunately the one that I really like (BMW Series One) is not available in the US and most cars around here…

WFPad
This is very cool. If you want to learn and/or play with Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), WFPad is an excellent standalone tool. If you want VS.NET (Express) 2005 integration, you can download the extension pack (please note that the current beta 1 release will not work with the Express edition but this will be fixed in…
