HAHAHAHA! Seems my blog is pretty evil:
How's your blog comparing?
Wanna get that Vista look and feel on your Windows XP system? Or why not Mac OS X appearance?Well, check out this "Tricking out the desktop" post by Ryan Farley. Some neat stuff there to play around with if you wanna tweak your UI a little (or a lot).
Hmmm, we'll se about that but it seems Microsoft is going to pick a fight anyway.
I'm talking about the live.com concept. Check out
what's ideas are in the making for www.live.com.
Some of it seems really promising! I wanted to centralize my favorites for years now
(and been to lazy to write something my self).
Since staring at Microsoft I work a lot with VPC's (Virtual PC) and that really bloated
my hard drive. Found this post by
Roy Osherove addressing this issue using differencing virtual hard disks. Really neat!

Listening to a good book really keeps me...
So guess what, still raining in Seattle. Who'd guess.
Anyway, I'll try to wrap up some of my experiences here.
First's day's keynote at TechReady was held by Steve Ballmer the CEO of Microsoft.
This was an amazing event to witness. Man, the guy knows how to handle a crowd! Action,
energy and a clear message! Mixed up with one or two jokes. I feel privileged to have

I'm currently in Seattle attending the Microsoft internal TechReady conferance. I
have not been able to blog like I would have wanted and the reason is overload in
the networks. The wi-fi hotspots and the hotels network in not dimensioned for handling
this amount of Microsoft consultants. I'll try to better myself and if I don't have
