A Day in Azure of Microsoft

Date: I guess It was 15th April..
"Microsoft: We offer products, it's your choice, if you use them or not"

It was a official visit to Microsoft Office at Domlur, Bangalore to attend Microsot Azure BootCamp. Microsoft has entered the Cloud Computing domain through their 'Azure' OS. It was a very informative conference to attend. But, don't worry in this post I am not going to explain the technicalities of the session. The day started with reaching the place and searching the Microsoft office in the web of offices with n number of roads inside that office city. Then finally finding the Microsoft office and particularly the conference room within the hug microsoft office. As usual we (me and my colleague) were an hour late. I rolled my eyes to find a place to put my ass and luckily got a seat in the last corner of the room. Then the introductory session about Microsoft Azure started with 3 biggies of Microsoft explaining the architects from different companies about this new product of MS. Most of the architect had more than 8-10 years of experience and had reached this level after doing a lot of coding using Microsoft Technologies but were reluctant to change the way they used to code to adopt the Azure way of coding for cloud. Hey! had I told you that this was a CTP, so microsofft invited us to provide some ideas what we need in the professional version of this product, what are we missing in the CTP version etc. Then after some interesting and boring debates about the way UI and Database is handled in Azure, the development, testing and deployment is done using Azure, etc. it was a relief as lunch time came to my rescue and I rushed for a quick smoke. And here came the thing I was shocked to note, I came out side in the reception block and found the doors locked and I didn't had the access, I waited ...waited...and waited....and then ..

The Infrequent Blogger...

Hi all,

May be you would be shocked to see my blog post after a long time, or might have forgotten me...So I thought of writing about this infrequent blogging by me....My blogger friends from Satyam or new ones might have been missing new updates from my blog(atleast I can hope so ;) )...so let me share few things about what was going through my blogging interest during this whole period of infrequency...

I haven't kept my pace of writing a blog post each weekend or even each month, I could have used microblogging to update my blog but I am using twitter for the same. There are a number of posts which are still in draft waiting for me to get a final touch...have a look...
I miss blogging a lot ...but I didn't want to write a blog post with title 'Random Thoughts' when no new topic is coming to my mind....and this work pressure has added a lot to this infrequency....weekend could have been a nice time to write but there is another post which I am writing that will explain why weekend goes in fly...
So friends, I will try to blog atleast once a week to keep my self updated rather than you all...ha ha ha...otherwise I will transform from a top 3 bloggers to infrequent to non-existent blogger...
Tschus...!!
