Windows Azure

I don't know that much about Azure... yet. But I am quite sure that is will be more and more important in the future.

From what I understand now it's the Microsoft platform for development of application that uses services "in the cloud", as you should say these days. Behind the buzzwords you'll find a bunch of services that can be reached over the internet that you can take advantage of. These includes storage, logging and other low level services but also Microsoft Live Services and CRM services etc.

The whole idea, I guess, is that given these services in place you can much faster get up and running.

OK - sounds like an good idea... Let's see it in action. Here are some videos.

Convert any file-format into PDF

This service is really great when you get one of those files that you don't know how or have the program to read. In my case it was a .pub file (Microsoft Publisher).

Now you don't have to download any readers... And for up to 6 MB it's free.

It's been done! It's solved! I don't know how but it is...

Albert preparing for the summer

Here are a few pictures from Alberts preparations for the summer.

What I am watching

Ok – the updates on this blog has been way under par for a while. That’s because I am not working right now.

I’ve noticed that when you have a lot of things to do it’s easy to get the little things done in a jiffy but when you do nothing it’s hard to start to even the small things… Strange but true.

OK – here are some things that I watch and enjoy right now.

Shaun the sheep – on SvtPlay.  Great fun for both me and Albert.

A complete live concert with Black Dyke Band (part 1 and 2). The playing has some minor blemishes but overall it’s great as usual, especially the Immortal-piece at the end!

Anything with Fodens on YouTube. Check out their run through Paganini variations (part 1 and 2).

And the rest of the time I enjoy the company and lazy days with Elin and Albert. And yeah, I do Salvation Army work. Preparing for a camp this summer amongst other things.
