Since some weeks now I changed my download manager from Free Download Manager to Orbit Downloader.

I enjoyed Free Download Manager for quite a long time but when I installed Vista I started to have troubles.

Thanks to my son for the duck :-)

As you might know, I am running the French .NET portal Tech Head Brothers and I am always searching for good way to optimize it and make it run better.

Following the post of Jeremy Zawodny’s blog: “How To Add Good Expires Headers to Images in Apache 1.3“ I decided to check this on my server running Tech Head Brothers on IIS 6.0.

Since the beginning of this week I wasn’t able to search anymore in Outlook and has I am using this a lot I was really pissed off.

I finally found an explanation in one of the Microsoft Forum:

**Update: **Following the comment of Jon Galloway

I know that there are other solutions doing this but I was just asked about how to do it today (hey Christine ;) and had this registry file stored somewhere for a while waiting for a blog post.

Another publication talking about the Silverlight implementation made by my brother Mathieu!!! Wonderful!

You made an excellent job Mathieu!!!

I started to migrate the Tech Head Brothers authoring tool and portal from Web Service Enhancement 3 (WSE 3) to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). This is a next step in the integration of .NET Framework 3 in Tech Head Brothers portal.

Till today I was using WSE 3 from the Word VSTO solution to securely publish content to the portal directly out of Word 2003/2007.

As stated in the blog of Frank Arrigo (responsible for all Technical Communities in Australia),

One of the things we will be showing at ReMIX is a preview of Discovery Channel Asia’s “Never Miss TV” developed by local digital agency @www. It’s one of the first commercial applications developed in Australia using Silverlight.

Nice :-) !!! First I was MVP now I am also VIB.

Two weeks ago I got an email from Microsoft to invite me to the Mix in Paris. This email was starting with the following “[Invitation presse/VIB]“, I had absolutely no clue what VIB was for, and as I was not someone from the press, I supposed I was a VIB. Unfortunately I couldn’t attend the Mix 2007 in Paris.
