2 years ago, on a Sunday, I posted my first blog post. Since then so many amazing things happened, partly due to this blog: I got the MVP status, I got a better recognition in my firm for my expert knowledge on some topics (such as WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET and C#), I started speaking in conferences... One year later, I got a book deal (more on this soon). I met amazing people, and made a lot of new friends in the industry. I went to Redmond a few times and had the chance to talk to some really amazing talents in the software field. More importantly, I really had the feeling that my contributions were acknowledged, and valued. It's really been 2 amazing years. To all of you reading these lines, thank you. You make my life as a software engineer better, more interesting, and you really help become a better developer. Read More...

GalaSoft "TweetMyPage" is a web application allowing you to post to Twitter what you're currently reading in your web browser, on a simple button click. After you install the small "scriptlet" button in your web browser's "bookmarks toolbar" (Firefox) or "Links toolbar" (IE), any time you want to share what you're reading with the world, you can simply click on the "TweetMyPage" button. If it's the first time in this session that you are posting, you will be asked to enter your Twitter user name and password. After that first time, you will not be asked for it anymore, not until you close your web browser. As a result, a message will be sent in your name to Twitter, for example: When you create the "Bookmark button" in the Settings page , you can customize the "Reading" prefix that will be posted, as well as a couple of other settings. TweetMyPage is in beta for the moment, and if you want to try it, I'll be happy to send you an invite (just leave a comment down here or send me an email Read More...

We're back home after an amazing week of ski and sun. It was really great. I also worked well on my private project, really happy about the way it went. I also have a couple of news that I haven't posted about yet. So here it is: You can now chat with me on MSN directly from my webpage http://www.galasoft.ch . Simply click on the "Chat with me" link in the left hand menu. This opens an inline DIV. Click on "Begin a Conversation". Type your name. Enter the "spam-fight" code and click Submit. There you go, you're talking with me. Obviously, this only works if I am online when you connect. The icon next to the "Chat with me" link gives you an indication about my current online status. I didn't implement this solution, merely integrated it in my webpage. The makers are of the MSN team, and for more information you can check here (yeah Casey is super excited, but still, if you ignore that and keep reading, it's better later ;). I've been twittering for a couple of weeks now. You can read it Read More...

Facebook is looking for french speaking persons willing to help translating the site. I really don't have time for that, so if you speak french and have free time to spare, you should probably register. Looks like they really need it sorely (see below) :) Read More...
