Just a quick shout out to some of my (real life) friends who just started blogging:

My good friend and co-worker Gøran Hansen have finally started blogging. His first two posts are about the Microsoft Gadgets platform and how to run the sidebar on Windows XP. I share his opinion that moving Windows Presentation Foundation out of the Gadgets platform was a big setback. Now you’re basically limited to writing HTML and JavaScript gadgets… The reason for this, according to Gadgets team members on the form, is that Microsoft didn’t have the time and resources to make a solid WPF implementation in time for the first release in the Vista time frame. Another reason why they stuck with HTML and JavaScript is that this model is been used by Gadget/Widget frameworks for a long time. You can check out Gørans blog at http://goeran.greit.no/.

Another good friend from NTNU who also have started blogging is Hans Olav Norheim. His blog will for most time be about technology, focusing on .NET and SQL development. You can check out his blog at http://hansolav.net/blog.

A third blog worth checking out is Espen Fuglems blog. This one will definitely not be technology related! Judging from his first couple of posts this one is going to be hilarious. He’ll be ranting about everything from world politics, philosophy to his brand new (totally pointless) cartoon; “Pyro Pingo”. You can find Espens blog at http://vettugmannen.blogspot.com/.
