Recently I published a couple of blog posts about building a simple ASP.NET task scheduling system in a practical way and with a basic example ( Part 1 and Part 2 ). Per comments and feedback from some visitors, especially a dear and respectful friend like Dave Burke , I also promised to publish my general framework for task scheduling as a part of an open source project. Today I found some free time to start this and created a CodePlex repository for the project. Finding an appropriate name for...

Well, it’s not easy to not write about Bill Gates’ transition today! If you’re one of those a few guys who don’t know, today Bill Gates transits its main role at Microsoft to a Chairman role in order to spend more time on Bill and Melinda Gates foundation! This somehow means that Bill Gates is leaving its active role at Microsoft, the role that we all knew him for it! So in a few hours, we’re going to say goodbye to the most famous man on the software world, or even in the whole computer world! For...

In the first part of this short post series about building a task scheduler system for the ASP.NET I covered some principles as well as the structure of a Task class that represents a particular task. The other element of the process is of course building a mechanism to schedule this task and start or stop it. This is the topic of the current post. Don’t forget to read the footer notes of this post that have some good news related to this topic. Before following the post, just let me point that the...

From the beginning of my military service every two months I’ve given a status of the service and things around it in my life. Today I finished the 16th months and started the 15 and it means that I’m close to the end and only four months are remained! The status is almost similar to the last time that I gave it except that weather is getting warmer and this is very annoying for me (you would know this from my past posts)! But at the military office, things are getting better smoothly and I’m going...

First of all, let me clarify a simple point that you need to have in your mind when reading this post: neither I’m a fan of Internet Explorer nor a fan of Firefox! I have used both and never preferred one to another! What I’m going to write about in this post is what you have heard about it in the past few weeks: Firefox 3.0 download record! In this simple blog post I don’t want to talk about technical aspects of this browser and never want to challenge the excellent quality of the software! To be...

Hamid Shojaee , my dear friend and the CEO of Axosoft company, has an excellent blog with great write-ups about software business and software teams and previously I had some discussions about his blog posts. In one of his recent posts, Hamid has started a new thread by creating a short test that lets software development teams, their members and their leaders to get an estimation of the shipment date failure probability of their project based on numeric values. Hamid has created this test with some...

Things are going fast around Waegis . Fortunately I didn't experience any big problems in Alpha testing stage and this let me move on easily to the next stages. After getting good results from the Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 builds, today I decided to launch the Alpha 3 privately for our Alpha testers. The Alpha 3 has some new features, enrichments and bug fixes and is supposed to be the last private build of the Waegis. My anticipation was to have two or three private Alpha launches before launching...
