Filed under Development

Around one month ago the Comando Tomate interviewed me at the Microsoft facilities "La Finca", thanks to this interview I was able to explain what the projects of Baleares on .NET are and what I do at Ineta Spain.

If you want to know more just take a look (Spanish).

2007 Blog Summary

Filed under Development

I initiated this blog one year ago with the intention to write basically about .NET. I started very enthusiastic and having clear that I didn't want to write just about which products come out or what other blogger said before. But reviewing the posts of this past year I've figured out that I've not been as prolific as I would like and that some of my posts really suck. I mean, I already knew it but when you see the numbers is when you face the truth (I only reached an average of 3 posts per month). I guess that sometimes one does not have time enough and/or just does not find the right inspiration, in any case below you can see my top 10 list of posts based on the web visits received. Obviously the "post competition" is not fair, since the oldest is the post the more possibilities has to be visited, but doesn't really matter.

By the way, I don't understand why the number one received this amazing amount of web visits, who knows what people expected to find when searching how to hook a keyboard and mouse ;)

Let's see what comes out in 2008.
