DevWeek and SQL Server DevCon take place at the Barbican Conference Centre in central London.
The main attraction that I found is Jeffrey Richter , author of Programming MFC which I used to study while back ago.
Looks interesting. Have to see if I can attend that or not.

Lately I have noticed a strange countdown when you press ‘I am Feeling Lucky’ button in the Google.com home page. I am not sure what this countdown really means. I cannot relate it to newyear count down.
I wonder it could be related to GOOGLE PHONE??? UPDATE: it is in fact related to newyear countdown.

ICANN announced that from now on URL’s can contain non Latin chars. This is a big move towards internationalizing the domain names. But there might be possible security risks associated with it.

if you are looking for a HD video cam for online chatting with skype or any online video chatting softwares, there is one from Microsoft. Recently I though of buying this one and went to review. I watched couple of videos in youtube and found that the review was quiet good for this.
Some realities :
Don’t expect the size of the cam to the big. It is sleek and slim.
If you have a bright background this cam gives exceptional clarity.

Watch the videos below comparing Microsoft Lifecam with Logitech 9000 Pro
Enjoy.

From the past few weeks, there are some technical issues with my blog, and so I have to remove my previous posts. However, my blog is back on track now and I am using Windows Live writer for the first time to post this entry. As of now it looks good. I need to experiment it further.
More posts will follow.
