I decided to upgrade to .NET 1.1 SP1. Then I ran one of my .NET winforms applications which has nested groupbox controls on a winform and FlatStyle set to System so they will be XP themed. Then I saw that the nested groupbox controls had their captions in bold arial font and this made the caption to be too big and the text wasn't readable. See...

Via Scott Stewart I came across this article on Infoworld. Let me rehash the quote Scott posted as well: The database community is also heading toward SOA. Plans are afoot to enable IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Oracle 10g, Sybase (Profile, Products, Articles) ASE, and other platforms to participate actively in Web services-based SOA...

I would like to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, or in other words: Happy Holidays! Here a small christmas message from us, with the Pier of Scheveningen, and part of the beach, that's 300meters from my house.

More here. This is great news! All credits go to Poland. Of course my own minister (Brinkhorst, The Netherlands) was asked by the parliament to do the same thing as Poland's minister did but refused to do so, to avoid losing credibility among fellow ministers...

Peter Torr did spend a lot of time to tell the world why he doesn't trust Firefox as a browser. Is this really important? No, it's not. I always call these kind of things: "Darwin in full effect".

Friday, Microsoft brought the news that WinFS, the highly anticipated new filesystem annex object store, is delayed again. It is now said they hope to release a test version in late 2006 and it will not be present in Longhorn server as well.
