I often find myself creating a new .NET project every time I want to try some simple piece of code, which is not only overkill sometimes but also counter productive if you need to sift thorugh the different folders for an specific piece of code… Even when you find it you end up having to create yet another project to test it out. While discussing with a friend about a very annoying Xml Serialization error I was getting at work, I was pointed to Snippet Compiler and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders!

One other reason why I haven’t been blogging much these days is because I’ve been focusing every little bit of free time I have reading up on business and economics. This must be a shock for those who have known me for a while. I had never, ever in my 31 years of age cared about either subject. My perspective about money was that of something that was too hard to get and keep!

Well, it’s been a while since I wrote anything here (or any where for that matter). Besides being busy with my daughter being sick all last week, there was a major reason for my absence: Last Friday I was phone interviewed for a job at `Microsoft <http://www.microsoft.com>`__ and afraid I’d jinx myself by telling anyone, I refrained from blogging. I’d say the interview went very well but in the end I don’t think I had everything the position required.

Hehehe… Great strip from phdcomics.com. Reminded me of my college years!

You are Windows 95. You look better than your older brother, but your communication skills are still lacking. You start well, but often zone out. Which OS are You? Someone will pay for this! =)

Parody to the Ubuntu Linux logo. Not safe for the office viewing!

So it is that time of the year again… The day when you take the time to ponder about your life, your past decisions… where you’re headed… It’s hard to believe but I’m 31 now! It’s been a pretty interesting 31 years so far, with its shares of good and bad times. Looking forward to many more yet to come!!! Happy birthday to me!!!
