December 20 MS and Firefox agree on RSS feeds IconA classic David Vs Goliath End. Its finally out. Its the Tiny Weeny Orange Icon which did the trick.
Microsoft has decided to follow Firefox's standard icon for displaying the alerts in its IE7 and other products that supports RSS feed.
For those of you who have been following the Microsoft RSS Team Blog, this was on the cards.
Here is the story.
Moral: Size does not Matter
Happy Coding. First Day at Micro$oftYes. Yesterday was my first day at Microsoft India Decelopment Center, Hyderabad.
In short it made me feel that i was very important. The MS folks and my team members were waiting for my delayed arrival by train. There were a lot of presentations. Looks like this might go on for couple of weeks. Presentations were very professional and sophisticated. Couple of great talks. I guess it might be dangerous as it the expectations may be equally high.
Today happens to be no different. Got our Alias and Machine(s). Might also get the ID cards...

In case you have tried out these or even better, got some tips then, you have an obligation to pass on your wisdom to your fellow brethern Happy Coding December 12 WHAT WOMEN WANTDisclaimer : OK. So this has nothing to do with what i have done / doing right now. This is
just a series of thoughts inspired by a whole lot of Movies, TV Sops and other's real life
expriences.
Before getting started, it would be better to set the thread rolling by adding quotes from
some-of-the-best-movies of all times.
Some nice words of wisdom from Movie Hitch
Basic Principles
OK people.. You heard what the Date Doctor had to say.. So lets start searchig for the broom(s)..
Happy Coding December 01 Getting my own blog site - 4Last night i was busy trying to get community server (CS) hosted on my .NET 2.0 beta machine. I downloaded the binaries, as source will be given away only with the released version. I was able to build it but not without any error. It looks like it requires SQL 2000 backend. I went thru my collection of s/w and couldnt find it. So i decided to test it over in Yukon (SQL Server 2005) beta 2.
After that i did a little code view of CS 1.1 release. The files and code reminded me of EDRA (Enterprise Development Reference Architecture) which was given away by Micro$oft in gotdotnet.
Anyway...The big buzz for today is William Henry Gates III is coming to India on Dec 9. He will be visitng B'lore for the lauch of integrated computing platform - SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005 and BizTalk Server 2006. The event has been titled as 'Bill Gates LIVE in Bangalore -- Ready 2005'. Very similar to his previous visit titled ''Bill Gates LIVE in Bangalore'.
Also... all those who end up reaching this part of the note.. plz wish for a speedy recovery for Amitabh Bachchan..
Happy Coding November 30 Getting my own blog site - 3The news is I am on track. Last night i installed dasBlog. I Had a chance to browse through some of their test implimentations. Quite impressive. So here is what i have to say. DasBlog is your choice in case you just want to have a blog + rich and cool UI + have enough technical knowledge and patience to work your way thru minimal documentation and support.
So this means that i will be dropping out. Not becasue of any technical incompetency but becuase of other features like multiple blogs support and gallery. Dont think that dasBlog supports these. Otherwise the installation is breeze and should be done in a couple of hours.
So this leaves me with no choice but to opt for CommunityServer. Again had a good look at some of its implementations. The key features are Multiple blogs per installation and Multiple authors per blog. Apart from the host of other common features like Skinnig, Ratings, Email Subscription, RSS 2.0 support, Trackbacks et cetra..
Feel free to communicate in case you want any support / help.
BTW.. My first product i worked on has been picked up by Microsoft as a customer evidence. Please do take take some time off and read it.
Click here to be read it.
Statuary Warning : ABM (Anything But M$) guys please stay away. This links leads to Microsoft site. This evidence has lots of metrics and terminology which will knock the living daylights out of you..
Happy Coding November 29 Getting my own blog site - 2Taking the thread forward.. i have some updates. I have zeroed on 2 free .NET blog software..
1. Community Server, formerly called as .Text
2. Dasblog
Another interesting one is Radio Userland. But i guess i would as of now settle with Commuity Server as it allows me to host multiple blogs from a single installation (see http://blogs.msdn.com for an example).
Das blog is fine but it stores entries in an XML format. The trade off is, its bit slow. And in case u try to access it from a 56K connection.. i might be pretty slow
Anyway, downloaded both of them and working on it.
In case u r a MS beta freak like me and want to enroll in their beta's, here are a couple of open invitations. I just stumbled upon. http://ideas.live.com/ I just signed up for most of them. These will add to my list of beta programmes in my resume.
In case u have any better FREE tool for blogging. Do let me know..
Happy Coding |
