It depends on the situation if I self-identify as a geek or not. Today, I thought it would be fine, so I signed up for the Geek Dinner organized by Scott Hanselman in Bellevue, WA . Quite a lot of people showed up. I went there with my colleague Erwin...
Best wishes to everyone for 2008! In the first day of the new year, I've released version 0.9.0.0 of my Flickr Meta Synchr tool . You can always find the latest version on CodePlex . I had been working on this new version for a while now, but didn't...
During the lunch break Carlo and I walked around the Microsoft Corporate Campus in Redmond. It is autumn here as well. Lots of deciduous trees are shedding their leaves. The campus now shows lots of shades of red and yellow on leaves. I took some pictures...
One of my post popular blog posts deals with problems I was having with the stability of Windows Vista. I had major problems hibernation and sleep modes on my Dell PC. My PC never reliably went to sleep or hibernation and crashed either during going to...
Scott Guthrie did a major announcement on his blog yesterday: Microsoft will be releasing the source code for most .NET Framework libraries with the release of Visual Studio 2008. There will even be integrated support for debugging into framework classes...
I had taken this online typing test before on a laptop while sitting on the couch. Tonight I was sitting behind behind my desktop computer and decided to retry the test, because Dennis posted his results. It feels a bit like a "who's got the...

After a long day and night of coding, I released version 0.8.0.0 of my Flickr Metadata Synchr tool on CodePlex this morning. I finally solved the long-standing problem I was having with the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) to update metadata. So this is...
I just experienced my first Windows Vista crash that didn't even display a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD). My computer just suddenly rebooted, complaining about an improper system shutdown. So what did I do? I was trying to mount a VHD file (Virtual Hard...
Today, I wanted to continue working on my FlickrMetadataSynchr tool after a break of a month or so. This project uses SaaS in the form of a hosted Team Foundation Server by Microsoft for source control and work item tracking. This SaaS is called CodePlex...
I just came accross this gem by Paul Stovell : Now, although I don’t really know anything about BizTalk, I do know that BizTalk is well-known as an enterprise-grade middleware product. I think that this is due to the fact that only Enterprises (with a...
Some people use hyperbole to refer to the disclosure of Silverlight and CoreCLR by Microsoft at MIX07. April 30, 2007 has been called the day that will be remembered as the day that Microsoft "rebooted the web" . This might be true in more than one way...
[ Update : The electronic version (in Dutch) is available online now.] My article on developing interactive TV-websites using ASP.NET 2.0 has been published in the Dutch .NET Magazine #16. I mentioned that I was writing this article in January and I made...
*sigh*. It seems you can't strong name a C++/CLI assembly, i.e., sign a managed C++ assembly, with a .pfx file like you can in C# or VB in Visual Studio 2005. You have to revert to using an unprotected .snk file ;( An MSDN forum post about this issue...
