During the holidays my wife and I went back to visit our families in Mexico City where we are originally from. Again, during the flights I had enough spare time to build a couple of my favorite games, Backgammon and Connect4.

During my last two business trips (to Barcelona for TechEd and Mexico for ReMix) I was way too bored on the plane and since I recently got my Motorola Q9 (which is a sweet Windows Mobile Phone) decided to write myself a Tetris game and to port my Sudoku game to Windows Mobile as a way to do my "first steps" in the .NET Compact Framework.

Yesterday I did the Extending IIS 7.0 Talk Part 1 of 2. Full session name was: INF303 Extending the Internet Information Server 7 Pipeline (Part 1 of 2)

Today I'm flying to Barcelona to attend TechEd Developer 2007. I will be talking about IIS 7 Extensibility and showing some of the cool stuff we have been doing for the last couple of years, including Configuration Extensibility, building Managed Read More...

With the upcoming release of .NET 3.5 and LINQ I thought it would be interesting to show some of the cool things you can do with IIS 7 and LINQ. Everything that I will do can be done with C# 2.0 code but it would take me several lines of code to write them but thanks to LINQ you can do them in about a line or two.

More than a year ago I wrote about Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll and how it was a new API we were creating for managed code developers to be able to easily set any configuration settings of IIS, however I purposely ignored the configuration part of the API.

With the release of Windows Server 2008 RC0, in IIS we are also releasing the ability to manage the Web Server, the new FTP Server and the new modules remotely using IIS Manager 7.0.

Tomorrow I'm flying to Orlando to attend TechEd 2007.
