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) ...

What a great honor this is, I’m featured at the home page of the Greek MSDN site ;-).

First let me say have a happy new Year full of happiness and successes to everyone. It’s been a while since my last blog post but I’ve decided to take some time off and spend Christmas and New Year with my family this year. It’s been great, I got a chance to play with my son a lot, visit Amfikleia a small village on the foot of Parnassos mountain, where we got to stay in a horse farm and build snowmen and play snow fights on Parnassos Ski Center   Now I’m back though...

Today I had the chance to meet with my fellow MVPs and our lead Alessandro Teglia on the first Greek MVP open day. It’s an event that is meant to bring MVPs closer, motivate us and give us an opportunity to meet and discuss the community and MVP program problems but most of all have fun. It was really fun, we talked about several things and all I have to say is that really cool things are coming really really soon. Anyway I really enjoyed networking with all these great people and hope that we’ll have the...

I finally managed to find an hour to update my blog engine to the latest release of Subtext (Subtext 2.0). Migration was smooth and had no trouble at all running the new engine in a matter of minutes. For detailed instruction on the migration steps, this is probably all you'll need. Of course my old skin does not work with the new engine so I've decided to use one of the pre-built ones till I get something mine on ;-). Let me know, if you notice any problems. Keep on blogin ...

Checking my blog comments yesterday I found a new one that advertised a sidebar gadget that claimed to present Facebook information on Windows Vista Sidebar. Naturally I've downloaded it and installed it on my machine to check it out. Being curious (rather suspected I might also add) I've taken a peek to this gadget's source code.  As I suspected, this guy not only has copied most of myFacebook sidebar gadget's code, not only he's making profit out of it by selling commercial space on it, but he has the nerve to post a comment to my blog, letting me know about...
