40 people showed up for the first ever ALT.NET Oresund meeting yesterday. (Tak for igår) We had a session by the Swedish MDSN chief Johan Lindfors (which perhaps was a bit lengthy but still very good). We had Open Space discussions around Agile estimation, Data migration, ASP.NET MVC, Testing in general (and next meeting). Speaking of next meeting - the working hypotheses is that this meeting will take place in Copenhagen in mid March. Big thanks to Johan for coming and to Dotway for sponsoring (the company where I work so I'm really thanking...

Here is the original post on that sample video: Dynamically Generated...

Somebody explain this to me: Why is it that the marketing team at Google decided to make their new logo a Windows look alike? Is Google secretly in love with Microsoft and we just haven’t seen it yet? Or will Google make a hostile bid for Microsoft soon? This is what the logos look like in birds eye view: Too similar or just a coincidence? What do you think? Cheers, M. Technorati Tags: Microsoft,Google
