The Bull Og

Just finished the MCP exam “Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.”

Only one more to go before MCSD for .NET.

There I was, in need of a portable email delivery service but not wanting to pay for it on a monthly basis.  I was waiting for an important email and I already have a cellphone so all I needed was a text message to be sent to me whenever the email came. 

I looked for all things “email2sms” and found this, which seemed like a good option until I realized that it would be 10 Pounds for the basic package!  For that much, I started to think how I could code a quick solution myself (a “Hackberry” if you will…) but then I came across ipipi.  Ah… I heart telecom.

About two years ago, a colleague at work said that he thought we were going in the direction of thin clients again.   The idea was that they’d make use of the Internet but just pass XML back and forth to a server and then handle all formatting client-side.  I just discovered this tool for including RSS/OPML content in a web-browser. Beautiful.

Just had lunch with the guy who tweaked WordPress for this blog on the Nobel Peace Prize.

Nice work, wouldn’t you say?
