The Daily Grind 906

Remember, there are still lots of people at Microsoft feverishly writing software.
- Adobe and Microsoft
- Abode is out with their own statement about the recent PDF vs. Office 2007 brouhaha,
in which they say (among other things) "Adobe has made no determination to take
legal action against Microsoft � any speculation on this matter is just that."
-
Java call stack - from HTTP upto JDBC as a picture - It's amazing how
deep the call stack gets when you put together modern enterprise software. And no,
this isn't Java-bashing; you could put together the same sort of diagram in some
.NET systems I've worked on.
- My Five Day Course For Hitting the WPF Curve/Cliff - Karsten Januszewski comes up with
a list of resources and a program for learning WPF. Now, if I only ever had a full
five days free... (via
Jason Haley)
- Always Open for the Right Person - A listing of jobs at MSN Search, including "Hand
Crafted Results": "When all else
fails, and the ranking algorithms do not pass the confidence threshold, we fall
back to delivering handcrafted results. Working on a team of approximately 132 other
handcrafters in 26 worldwide markets, you will receive a user query, use all the
available search engines to quickly scour the web for results, pick the top 10 results
for this query, and send it on to the user. Successful handcrafters can typically
find top 10 results for a real-time user�s query in less than 3.8 seconds. This
is an opportunity to truly connect with customers, because the queries that get
routed to you are precisely the ones that the engine cannot answer well. We will
have adequate staffing to allow generous coffee and bathroom breaks." This is a joke, right? MSN isn't really paying people
to use Google to find the answers to search queries? I checked, and this is the
legitimate job openings page for MSN Search. (via
Google Blogoscoped)
- Vista flavored
Talking Rain - The software hasn't shipped, but the flavored water has. Silly
stuff, flavored water.
