I have started this series of posts dedicated to exploring the internals of the .NET framework and runtime. To get started on probing of internals of .NET, we need a debugging extension called SOS (Sons of Strike). Visual Studio comes packaged with this assembly (SOS.dll).

The Vancouver Olympics has been generating considerable bit of interest with everyone speculating on the country which bags the most number of golds. To make it easier to keep up to date with the medals tally, I wrote a Chrome extension which displays the top 10 countries. It can be downloaded at the chrome site here.
Google Chrome recently opened up their extensions API. Though Chrome had supported extensions quite early on in its lifecycle, the API was still a work in progress and one needed to open Chrome in the developer mode to play around. A few weeks back, Chrome announced that extensions are now enabled in normal [...] As applications grow more and more complex, they cost more money to develop, test and maintain. Each bug that leaves the development stage, needs the QA’s effort to identify and notify the developer who again spends time to fix it and get it signed off from the QA. Hence its imperative that good [...] After months of begging for a google wave invite, I had given up on the possiblilty of ever getting inot GWave at the preview stage.

If the speech at the Beijing conference wasn’t enough, Murdoch has threatened to block search engines from indexing his news websites. Quite a nice way to say Thank you for getting 40-50% of traffic to his site. Murdoch’s idea [...] REST or Representational State Transfer is an architectural style of writing applications where clients request the server for information. This term was first coined by Thomas Fielding for his PhD dissertation. Contrary to popular perception, REST isn’t based on any cutting edge technology but rather is an example of classic Client-Server architecture we have been [...] Microsoft is conducting a three day TechDays Event at work from November 4th to 6th. A wide range of topics will be covered including latest Microsoft technologies like Windows 7, Visual Studio TS 2010, Exchange Server 2010, Sharepoint 2010, Silverlight and Azure among others. I immediately nominated myself for it lest the number of [...] When I checked my Reliance NetConnect broadband plan this month, I was shocked. There was an extra charge for 700 MB of bandwidth, especially surprising since I hardly use my peak plan quota of 1 GB (morning 6AM to 10PM). After investigation, I found that they had charged one of my night sessions to the day [...] |
