Seems like I've been cloned. Any idea what this site is, and why it seems to have an almost complete copy of my website? UPDATE: Seems I'm not the only one to have been bitten by this... </p>

I've been trying to gather ideas before I try prototyping an idea that I've been wondering about for the last few days. To do that, I've been doing a few tests with the SOM implementation in the System::Xml::Schema namespace in .NET, and I've comed to a simple revelation (probably a...

If you're using Managed C++, read and understand this. It's big, it's important, and worthwhile to keep in mind.

I finished downloading InfoPath yesterday from MSDN Subscriber downloads, but with deadlines due today, I haven't had time to give it the spin it deserves... yet. I must admit, though, that what little I've seen has quite impressed me, and I find the concept very interesting and with a lot...

I've been reading this week Keith Ballinger's new book, ".NET Web Services: Architecture and Implementation" (courtesy of a friend). So far, I'm only up to chapter 12, but I've learned quite a few things I wasn't aware of. I specially like how Keith puts everything together and explains things in...

Christian Weyer asks why Services Without Components is broken on Windows XP. I don't know the exact details of it, but I do know a few things I found out after lurking a while. Keep in mind that last time I took a look at this was a few months...
