I happened to visit the Mobile and Embedded DevCon 2004 in Bangalore from 9th to 11th December 2004. This was the first of its kind in India and had a good attendance from all companies. I had volunteered to proctor the hands on labs as well as be part of the Community Booth to spread the awareness of the MVP Program and community related activities. Day 1.

Yesterday I received my Windows XP SP2 CD and then proceeded to install it on my primary computer (mind the words primary). Had to take precautions like cleaning out the system with spyware removal tools like Ad-aware and Spy-bot. Finally after a long time of 2 hours, XP SP2 got installed and then proceeded with the customary steps to inform me how to protect my system. But the funny point is

Came across this interesting article which is worth reading. And I love the fact that Ferrari uses VB for its technology work. Read about it here. Thanks to Robert Green for bringing this article to my notice.

Finally M. Schumacher has clinched his record breaking 7th World Championship with a series of dominating wins this series where he lost only twice, one in Monte Carlo due to a freak accident with Montoya and in Belgium where he couldn't get the better of Kimi Raikkonnen in a accident filled race where the Safety Car had to come out on several occassions. Well watching the rest of the season

Well I am a fan of Formula One and have been a fan of Ferrari since the last 6 years and have admired how Ferrari works hard to meet the challenges and this inspires me a lot. With the Belgian grandprix due on Sunday, I follow up the events to each grand prix and observed something interesting. In the past, there would be a poll to determine the people's opinion. they would display a list of

Whew, finally installed Visual Studio .NET 2005 Beta 1 after the mayhem with SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 and now everything is back on track. Of course applications developed in ASP.NET 2 works with SQL Server 2005. Went through some of the features in SQL Server Beta and SQL Server Management Studio is definitely cool to work with.

Referring to my earlier post about the failure to install SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 on top of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1, Deepak Gulati pointed me to the resource to get this rectified. The remedy is to uninstall Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 along with the .NET Framework SDK Beta 2.0 and then install SQL Server 2005 Beta 2. This took quite a time to get this done and finally SQL Server was installed on

Tech Ed 2004 was held in Chennai last week and it was a great event not to be missed. I spend my time in the Microsoft Community Booth where we exhibited about the MVP Program, had a contest "Meet Your Match" which generated a lot of interest. I attended only 2 sessions Visual Studio Team System by Kieth Rowe and Welcome Visual Basic 20o5 by M.S.V Janakiram. Both sessions highlighed the new

I received my copy of SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 during Tech ED 2004 held in Chennai last week. Since I already had Visual Studio .NET 2005 Beta 1 installed on my machine weeks before, I tried to install SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 but it refused to install saying that the .net framework version that was installed wasnt compatible with this SQL Server. So I am in a fix how to get this done and dont tell

Welcome to my blogs. I am shifting to this space from my earlier provider at weblogs.us because there seems to be some error when posting blogs and this hasn't been rectified for quite some time.
