Hi all
I just threw my blog through http://typealyzer.com to
see what type my blog is, and it turns out my blog is an “ESTP – The Doers”. Description
of that:
The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around
them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.
The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and
focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following
it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for
any period of time.
The graph show is this one:
I am not going to comment on the accuracy of this description other than well pretty
accurate 🙂
What blog type is your blog?

There is a new version of the Windows Azure platform AppFabric SDK was made available yesterday, you can get it here. There was also a scheduled outage of the service yesterday while the team did a “major software upgrade”, presumably this is tidying things up in advance of going production live on Jan 1. There was a pre-announcement of breaking changes posted here, but I missed that.
My first clue that something had changed was that the Access Control Service wasn’t talking to me anymore :). I also had an issue with it when I tried to run an existing ServiceBus client application.
Updating the SDK solved everything (and obviously you’ll need to rebuild any client apps to get the new assemblies).
So if you’re doing anything with the Azure platform AppFabric, you want to install the new SDK
We are now just DAYS away from all this going live, I’m excited, and will be posting more soon. We’ve been getting closer and closer to this new era for some time, and now, it starts for real.

Yesterday I showed how to deploy the new WCF 4.0 Routing Service within IIS 7. Today, I’m looking at how to take one of those underlying services we built and consume it from a WCF Workflow Service hosted in AppFabric.
In the previous post, I created a simple WCF service called “HelloServiceMan” which takes a name […]

In October we shipped the public Beta 2 release of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4. The feedback on the new features in VS 2010 and .NET 4 has been really great. I’ve been working on a blog series about some of them (lots more posts to go!) and have also had a chance to present them to a broad range of audiences – and it has been great hearing the excitement people have about them.
At the same time, though, we’ve also received feedback that the performance and virtual memory usage of VS 2010 Beta 2 is not where people need it to be before we ship.
We’ve been doing an intensive performance optimization push the last two months that is delivering significant performance and virtual memory usage improvements across the product. The early feedback from a small set of customers testing interim builds since Beta2 has been positive about these improvements. We still have several big performance fixes in the process of being checked in that will improve things even further.
Public Release Candidate
In order to make sure that these fixes truly address the performance issues reported, and to help validate them across the broadest number of scenarios and machine configurations, we’ve decided to ship another public preview release of VS 2010 and .NET 4 before we ship. Specifically, we plan to make a Release Candidate build available in February that everyone will be able to download and test. It will be a public build and include a broad “go live” license that supports production deployment.
The goal behind the Release Candidate is to get broad feedback on the readiness of the product. In order to ensure that we are able to receive and react to this feedback, we will also be moving the launch of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4 back a few weeks.
Please continue to send us your feedback about the product, as well as details on issues you encounter with the current Beta 2 release. Your feedback is invaluable, and really helps ensure we deliver the right product. Feel free to send me email ([email protected]) if you have a specific issue you are running into that you don’t think has already been reported.
Hope this helps,
Scott
