Microsoft had announced today the launch of the Visual Studio Express Editions. What are they exactly?

I had downloaded the Express Edition Beta’s sometime early this year (quite a big download — 100MB++, but it’s worth the time and waiting). What’s new? Well, Microsoft is offering these new set of tools — aimed for students, programming-enthusiasts, and novice developers FREE of Charge! Yes! You had read it right — FREE!! Atleast for the first year .. hehehe .. It was originally planned to sell the Express Edition tools at around US$49 per license.

How stupid I am? Or was I just pre-occupied with too much work today, that I had almost forgot the 2nd year anniversary of my website, Turf Site Manila (http://www.bobreyes.com)

Was it a coincidence that on the same day, two (02) years ago, I had changed my website’s CMS engine?

Happy anniversary to TurfSite Manila! Thanks for all your support and browsing!

Actually, what I wanted in the blog engine that I had found in XOOPS before is now here in WordPress. That’s one of the reasons why I had switched from Drupal to WordPress.

Another thing, with WordPress, I was able to “re-write” my blog entries easily.

Welcome to the 3rd edition of my site. Now, I may call it as a Blog, as I am now using WordPress.

Also, notice the new theme? Does it remind your of Windows XP Bliss?

Hello world! Wait for the blogs.

Did you know that Microsoft started with a *NIX Operating System prior to DOS? Yes! You had heard it right. They first came with Xenix, a Unix variant prior to the launch of MS-DOS, the operating system that we were taught of during my elementary school days. Then came the many versions of Windows, from the first one that I had tried, which is 3.1 (then came Windows 3.11 with Networking Capabilities), then the launched of Windows 95, that changed how people perceived computing, in general.

Now, that I am using Windows XP, which will soon be outdated by Windows Vista (come 2006), news has been circulating in the WWW about Microsoft’s new operating system (OS) code-named: Singularity.

Technical specification of the new OS can be read at http://research.microsoft.com/os/singularity/
