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:

A new chapter unfolds…
Finally, the long wait was over and I joined Aztecsoft yesterday. And thus began the era of monetary independence in my life or so I think. I reached the office around 0900 hrs.
