Recently I wrote an article for MSDN Magazine. The subject of the article is about planning for and designing state maintenance and sharing within peer networks. Overall I think the article turned out quite well.

Microsoft has released a preliminary list of sessions to give people an idea of what they might be getting if they attend PDC 2008. It looks like PDC '08 is all about 7 and the cloud.

In this next post in my series on peer networking, I explore the possibility that Windows Live Mesh could represent the next evolution in peer networking and peer application programming

In this next entry in my peer networking discussion series, I talk about some of the reasons why just having a pure peer network isn't good enough for today's modern apps - we need more.

The analogy might seem odd, but read the blog post and bear with me and hopefully it'll make some sense. Lately, I've been noticing that the act of maintaining one's social network online is as ugly as the "MMO Grind" that makes so many quit MMOs.

This blog post takes a look at some hot and steamy Mac on Vista action - using Bonjour/Zeroconf to publish and discover location and metadata information about dynamic services

What does a WWDC 2007 Attendee do with 1.5 hours of downtime? Why, build a dynamic peer-to-peer chat application in Cocoa, of course!

This blog post is a discussion of the new managed PNRP stack that is available in Orcas, as well as how it integrates with WCF. It is an underrated feature of Orcas that should be getting a LOT more attention.

Ordinarily I'm of the opinion that refactoring too early can cause more problems than it solves. However, this one was a no-brainer.

I've been expanding on the basic network framework for the Ulysses Agenda game and I've got a working authentication service up and running - and uses the "SOA on an ESB" pattern
