Vladimirv — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:41:00 GMT

Using my Google Reader I am connected to many blogs. One of them is Tim O'Reilly . (Yes the one that wrote some of the programmers books your read...) O'Reilly writes so much that I can not read him often. In on month he wrote about 80 posts. I guess he takes it very seriously, and it is part of his job...

Vladimirv — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 21:29:00 GMT

" Japan working to replace the Internet " For a long time I have been hearing some talks about the next generation of the Internet. And I don't count a movement from asp to .net, from standard to Ajax'd web-sites as a real generation step. All this cool technologies, like Flesh, Flex, Silverlight, Ajax, Asp.Net 1/2/3.. - all of them a really part of this current generation. This time I heard something tangible.

Vladimirv — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 21:55:00 GMT

The first question a new, green, entrepreneur thould think of is this: Is there any chance for me and my startup to get money grant from the government? Wouldn't that be the coolest? To get some money so the startup can takeoff more easily? Yeaa.. But if there is such thing the chances to get the money are probably so small so maybe I should not bother..

Asynchronous Programming with MSMQ: and it's installation issues.

Vladimirv — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:57:00 GMT

MSMQ has already been there for while. Actually it has been here at least 5-6 years (that is only the time I am familiar with it).

So, back in the begging of the millennium Microsoft released a nice, free of charge, comes...(read more)
