I Finally got my new little Shuttle X27D and all needed hardware to complete it, well actually I have had if for a week now but I haven't got the time to put it up here.
The reason I bought this is basically that I have been using my workstation as a media server and since we are talking a Core 2 Duo 6600, 4GB DDR2 RAM, 3x160GB + 1x320GB Disks, GeForce 9600GT and some more, one can imagine that it consumes a bit of power.
Of course I could turn it of when I don't use it, at least that was what I told my self...
During the years as a developer, I have been working a lot in the field of Windows Services in .NET both implementing them as well as monitoring or controlling them.
This has lead to an implementation of a so called ServiceWatcher, basically a class that in a defined interval updates a ServiceController and then checks the status.

Red wine is just another of these things, obviously excessive intake can cause damage to the liver,...

So to put in a few words about them.
First of all, im 100% facinated by body art, and some day, i hope ill join in. All my tattoo drawins are currently tribal, this is mainly what the borring meetings will allow in time.
Another goal is to create my own tattoo, after all i want it to mean something to me, and making it a self creation is obvioulsy more personal.
Most tattoos are kind of creating them self, im starting on them...
Yes what a fantastic title... I'm sure your all just expecting great words now. Well I'm going to disappoint.
Well i finally got my self together and made a web log, hopefully some of my thoughts are worth sharing.
I Work with .NET on a daily basis, so obviously the blog is going to contain a rather large portion of that, which is also why the sub title is what it is, and yes. Another one because we all know theres so many out there, but thats cool, there is a lot of good stuff to find.
However, i can ensure...
