As the release date of our project was nearing, I had become a bit busier in the past few weeks. That would explain the absence of any activity in this blog.

My new desktop
Last night, I installed Farsi Language Interface Pack on my PC at work to test the localization features of our application. This is how my desktop looks now:

Boring pursuit of a bored soul
Bored at work, I started googling people I know. Here are some interesting results:
1. Johnny Jacob – When you search for him, the only worthwhile page that comes up is his Novell Assessment Page at the top of all results.
2. Swen George – Search for this guy and you get a page with 80% [...]
