I obviously write posts in batches, so this is the first post in a new batch So, let me do a quick resume first. I’ve been quite busy with the WinDays conference at the end of the April. WinDays is the biggest IT conference in the region and I was very much involved this year […]

Off-site backups are always complicated. In my main development machine, I have an SSD with all the data, and the data is nightly copied to the RAID1 disks. That seams like a decent backup solution in the case of disk failure, but what if somebody steals my computer or the whole house burns to the […]

Doduše, za ove WinDayse naradio sam se kao nikad prije, tako da sam taj “odmor” i zaslužio, iako ću se odmarati vjerojatno tek od srijede kad […]

There is not much I can write about next version of Silverlight that hasn’t been written somewhere else, but I feel like I must mention it on my blog, simply because it’s – great! Silverlight 5 was announced on Silverlight Firestarter event on December 2nd by Scott Guthrie himself, with lots of slides as well […]

Sorry about this, but since a lot of people have problem with this, I need to publish it somewhere, and personal blog seems like a logical choice. I’ll keep it short and simple.
