For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:46-48, NIV) |
This is the fifth and sixth post for "This Week’s Geek Links". I’m making up for last week due to lack of time on my part to gather relevant material…sometimes it feels good to take a break from all this computing "machinery".

I’ve been a fan of John C. Maxwell ever since reading his excellent book on leadership The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, so it was without hesitation that I decided to read one of his other books on leadership and human potential. Regardless of being just 120 pages, "Dare To Dream…Then Do It: What Successful […]
This is my second technical review for a book belonging to the "Head First" series from O’Reilly. After reading and reviewing the excellent "Head First Design Patterns", it was hard not to push further my curiosity to read another Head First book. I must say that since writing the review for "Head First Design Patterns", […]
My wife has a lot of family members living in the country in New Brunswick, Canada. One of them sent her this funny illustration of what they seem to understand every time I go down there and tell them about my job with technology.

When Visual Studio updates its MSDN documentation to "reflect your recent changes", it throws a dialog box right in your face asking you to wait (or waste) several minutes. Now I must say that there are some things in life that I accept without much stress, difficulty, and impatience; such as forgetting my wallet at […]
For the past few months, I have been using Windows Live Writer, a desktop blog publishing application, to write and publish my posts. This free utility encouraged me to abandon the awful WYSIWYG text editor of WordPress for writing my posts. Don’t get me wrong, I love WordPress as a blogging platform, but its […]
Firefox has a built-in feature that allows you to recover any previous session in case it should crash. Internet Explorer doesn’t. Why not? I hate it when Internet Explorer hangs for some unknown reason and stupidly loses my current session including all the tabs I had previously open. Instead of restarting itself with my previous […]

Have you ever wonder how some intrinsic mechanisms of the C# language actually work, i.e, generics, iterators and delegates?
What about the different syntax and constraints of the C# language?
Do you want to know more about the CLI, the CTS and the CLS, and how they participate in the .NET Framework, than just being satisfied with […]
Does your code compiles successfully? Good. How about your application’s performance? Could it use some improvement? Did you take some time in answering these questions before releasing it to the Quality Control team or to a potential customer?
You must’ve heard and read about it many times over since the .NET framework […]

I’ll start out by recommending you to watch these two videos which have nothing to do with software development, but everything to do with courage, humility and living. The normal structure of this post follow the links to these videos.
