The plan was to release at 01-Jan-2008, but I did not make it, therefore the birthday of this post is not as beautiful as it could be...<br /><br />This blog is all about information technology... especially tools, the environment as a whole and software architecture are focussed. Technically Java, .net and SQL SERVER are in the spotlight<br /><br />Welcome, hope to see you often here.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5571038455487373632-826313053884130899?l=zero-one-infinity.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ruven Oberländerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05897465205493722805noreply@blogger.com
