May and June this year are speaking engagements months for me. Mostly these engagements are local events in Poland - if you're interested in them, please visit my Polish blog. One event will be in English and is organized on-line through Live Meeting by my friend, Polish MVP - Robert. If You have spare 75 minutes on the 19th ...

This September – at least for me – is a speaking season. I’m speaking at two conferences. First is TEC 2009 organized by Quest in Berlin. TEC will gather many of well known people as speakers – let me quote Gil here: TEC is comprised to two conferences this year. TEC/Identity and Access features speakers from Microsoft (Alex Weinert, Markus ...

I’ve described this first on my blog written in Polish so this will be a story and moral in one post – which in original was two posts. Story …. I had to install IdM solution I deployed some time ago in new test environment and part of deployment was to deploy ASP .NET application. Pretty simple task … install IIS –> .NET framework –> ...

It isn’t something I would do on purpose however it had happened on my T61P + 4GB RAM system. Actually I ran it without swap file for last few months … this will be lame … and I didn’t noticed it.

Unfortunately this wasn’t most happy time for my family as my grand father reached end of his earth journey and I had to cancel most of my plans and get back to Poland. Such things happens and it is called life. No matter ...

Next few months looks like a speaking engagements trial for me. In October I will speak at MTS 2008, which is Polish TechEd-like conference organized by our MS sub. I will deliver two sessions: AD replication under the hood: I will try to explain how AD replication works, what is important to know to effective diagnose its state and also I ...

As I'm going for short holiday break to visit my family and friends, probably without access to Internet (there are still some places with no or at least limited access to network) I will take a chance to wish You all Mary Christmas and Happy New Year. Or just happy days with Your family in new Year if you are not celebrating ...

Some time ago (actually over the year now) I bought iPod Shuffle as a simple replacement for my old 256MB USB memory stick.  I'm still using it mostly as USB memory, but sometimes when I have to travel (like tomorrow at 6 AM :( ) or during the flight I'm using it to listen to the music (that's why I bought iPod not ordinary USB ...

  It looks like today is a day (night) for non technical content so let's continue this way. We have here in Poland a time which is called "golden Polish fall".
