A lot has been going on for the past couple of months that prevented me from keeping this blog up to date, so I feel it’s time to do some catching up and let you all in on some of the cool things that I’ve been involved with since my last post back in September. This is going to be an ongoing list that’s going to be updated as soon as posts get published, so stay tuned for updates.. September 2011 Build Windows Conference October 2011 ArabGames 2011...

Are you anxiously waiting this years Champions League final game between Barcha and MU? Well this doesn’t even come close to the ultimate football game of the year. Can’t wait to see Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Rouney, Giggs and Nani? Why bother, when you’ll get the once in a lifetime chance to see stars like djsolid, hyper-vangelis, spantos, ipplos, gvarakis, dstellakis, grandpa and others on the field. Don’t miss it!!!

As you probably can see I’ve decided to spent a little time renewing my blog. So there are a couple of things that changed. First I’ve upgraded the engine version to Subtext 2.5.2. This wasn’t painless, my blog engine was pretty old and the migration steps seemed to fail. I didn’t want to loose my data though and thus I persisted and managed with a couple of tricks to finally move my data to the new engine. Second, the blog is now hosted on a different server. I wanted to move to a server on which I...

When you work as a freelancer and are a father of two young boys it’s almost impossible finding a place at home where you can concentrate and work. So most of the times you end up at some local Wi-Fi enabled coffee shop enjoying a cup of coffee while tapping code on the keyboard. But what happens if you want to meet and talk with a client? So you can understand my excitement when I read about Joey’s discovery, Cloud Free Agent Espresso Bar, a place in Toronto Canada where you can have a coffee and work or host a business...

I’ve just rebooted from a Windows update only to find at my startup screen the following window.   And I am wondering do other OSes have something similar …

It’s been a while since my last post, but things have been pretty hectic trying to set up and start my new business. Thankfully things are going great so you’re going to be hearing more about Techaholics in the near future ;-). Yes Techaholics is the name I think best represents what my Friend Panos talked about a few years back (now that I look at it we’ve come up with a name almost at the same time just two years ago, what a coincidence ;-)). Let me know what you think about it. I’ve already started working...

Yesterday I received my Google Wave Invitation which includes 8 more invitations to give away. So I have 8 Google Wave invitations and I’m going to give them up to 8 readers that will leave a comment to this blog post. So if you’re interested in testing Google’s new Social Platform leave a comment and try your luck ;-) The draw will take place next Tuesday. P.S. You’ll have to include an email to your comment in which I’m going to send the invite in case you win.

Almost two years have pasted since I moved to Metadata, a small startup company focusing on The Web, to work as a Software Solutions Architect. During this time I was able to design and develop the company’s web platform, namely MetaCMS and use it to develop large news portals and e-commerce solutions. Yesterday, I announced my resignation. There are a lot of reasons that lead me to that decision but the main one is that I want to start - try to make it on my own. So starting November, after the TechEd conference,...

I briefly got the chance to talk about MetaCMS, the content management system and e-shop platform I’ve designed and built, a while back. Since then a lot of sites have been built using it. Some of which (the biggest ones) include: www.nooz.gr (former www.flash.gr) ...
