New blog and yes I am a traitor to my religion
Posted by suddenelfilio in Blog, General on 12/04/2007
Altough I’m a strong believer of the .Net evangely I have switched blogging engines from community server (100% .net) to WordPress (PHP & MySql). It’s because I feel limited by the community server features and it still does not achieve the same level usability as WordPress does. So here we are. I’m going to look for a way to import my posts from CS to WP, but that might take a while because I’m still investigating this.

Well yes actualy a lot is new. I’m currently working at BICS (Belgacom International Carrier Services) where I’m helping them with one of their projects and in the same time I’m replacing one of my co-workers who is going to leave us.
BICS has got an impressive infrastructure. I’ve even a nice display about the size of entire wall (really big !!!) I wonder if they show a nice movie in the evenings… probably not because it is being used for network monitoring.
Another thing is that last week(end) I started working on a .net wrapper around the currently very unfriendly to use ISBNDB Api. It’s an URL-based API that returns XML so there will be a lot of parsing involved, but this is actually a step I’m not doing I’m just writing a small framework to use certain classes to retrieve the XML. Maybe later on I’ll add parsing… anyways it will come available on http://www.codeplex.com/isbndbnet which is currently very low on content 
Besides all of this I’m currently planning a home multimedia network. It consists of 1 media center pc with a linksys media center extender device and on top of that each room has been fitted to play music which is available over the network. For this I’m using 3 Terratec Noxon’s and 3 times a basic 2.1 speaker system from logitech. Hopefully everything will play nice together
On hold ?!?

Currently I’m not posting as much as I used to do but that’s because I’m preparing for my certification exam. I’m studying most of the little free time I have.
Next week I’ll update the post about the TFS Proxy Switcher. I still have to setup the codeplex project again.
