Now I understand why I have troubles viewing the electronic MSDN Magazine, have a look at this post from Chris Crowe… 😲 But I have to say that usually when I’m in that condition, expanding the content tree on the left and clicking on another topic solves the problem, at least on my machine… never mind, unlocking the file is just 3 seconds and fixes the problem forever 😊 Cheers

I’ve been tagged :-)
So… this seems to be the game of this New Year (not really sure when it started, though)… Doug tagged me, so I’m now supposed to tell you 5 things you don’t know about me… here we are: I come from a completely different background: I studied Organ and Composition at the conservatory of Parma; do you know the “Ham of Parma“, or the “Parmigiano Reggiano” cheese, the “Parmalat” (sadly known for a huge financial disaster 3-4 years ago, as the “Italian Enron”) or Giuseppe Verdi?

(well, actually my girlfriend decided where we’ll go to live for the next years, I guess you know how this king of things works…). While I had to deal with the contracts and terminology I’m not familiar with, I realized that sometimes people tend to give some things and facts for granted, while other people may not know what we are talking about… This also apply to our business: I had some conversations with our customer getting “Application Server Unavailable” errors in their ASP.NET sites, and then we discovered that they tried to execute two different CLR versions (usually ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0) in the same worker process… This is not allowed, and I always thought this was clear, but a couple of customers…
