Lambda Expressions
Lambda Expressions in C# are pretty cool. I am sure there are a lot more people with more detailed blog posts about this topic, but I am just so excited to say something nice about this. Together with LINQ this is a really cool "looking" programming technique. I am not sure about what happens behind the scenes, as I have not dissected the assembly yet.

Here is a link at MSDN

Teach someone to learn something
I have taken up teaching someone .Net. This has been a great experience so far. I am learning a lot and some of the minor stuff that I would ignore because  of "I would never use this at work"  does not apply. So expect more blog posts.

Cool Debugging feature in Visual Studio
Trace point - a cool feature in VS. thru Mark.Net

"....A tracepoint is simply a breakpoint that will emit a debug trace statement when it is reached. It can emit things like the current function name, stack trace, or the contents of a variable. What's really cool is that you don't have to actually stop execution. This allows you to quickly add debugging statements without the need to check out your code or remember to take the Debug.WriteLine statements out afterwards......"

BETA software
I had a problem with my firefox browser, the address bar was not clearing up when I open new tabs.
I tried updating the browser, checked the add-ons, themes etc.. little luck.
Being sceptical of everything associated with it, I checked the google toolbar and found that I was using the Beta verion of tool bar. Being an early adopting geek, I had installed it and that was causing the issue.

UBUNTU
I recently moved to UBUNTU version of Linux. Though, I have used Linux, here and there, not as much as a primary machine. So far I Like it.  Installation was pretty straight forward unlike my past experiences of having to configure red-hat like 4 years back. Linux has come a long way. Now, that I have installed the OS, I need to find a way to get a dev environment for Java or LAMP set up

Wimbledon 2008
There are certain places where you feel things belong there - nothing more than Tennis at Wimbledon.
They have spoiled some of its spirit by making the courts less faster, so you dont get to see more "serve and volleys" or aces for that matter. Gone are the days when guys like Ivanisevic could advance very far riding on just his serves.

Inspite of those, this year, men's  match-ups, seems to be very interesting. Things are getting really competitive, Federer wants to prove that he is still the numero uno, Nadal would like to tell everyone - "Hey I can play finesse tennis too" and Djokovic would like to add his name to contention.

By the way, where is Andy?

On the women's side, It is sad to see Justin-Henin retire, hope she comes back, and waiting to see if Ana can hold it on Grass.
