Microsoft Gives Anti-Virus Another Try…

October 1, 2009 1:59 AM

One thing which was missing from Microsoft line of product was ANTIVIRUS. They have all the software utilities with the Operating System, be is notepad, paint, media player, image viewer etc. Now with the Microsoft Security Essentials the line is longer and better. This new member in Microsoft’s family is not new, there was Microsoft Live One Care, which was a disaster and was not free.

How I learned to say ‘No’ to SQL

September 30, 2009 2:23 PM

This is the story of how I learned to say ‘No’ to SQL and to cope with my wife’s addiction to Coach bags. The answer is support groups. I kid. No, I don’t. There are a number of alternatives to relational databases. However, for the purposes of this post, I am focusing on persistent, distributed key/value stores.

The Nonzero-Sumness of RIA Platforms

September 9, 2009 2:47 AM

In an industry that seems to thrive on competition, it’s natural to think that the three major RIA platforms are incompatible, directly competing technologies, and that an application that uses one, will preclude the use of the other two. After all, an application written in Silverlight is one less application that could potentially be written in JavaFX.

JBoss World – The First full day

September 3, 2009 12:55 PM

Just wrapped up the first full day of JBoss World here in Chicago and wanted to share some of my thoughts. To start, this is my first time attending the event so I did not really know what to expect. Attendance seems to be very good and probably more than I had expected given the economy. However, it is hard to judge who is there on the RHEL track versus JBoss given it is a shared event. In fact, that seems to be the leading question in small talk at lunch and in the pavilion! “So…., you here for RHEL or JBoss?”
