FABRIQ is a high-performance, one-way, queuing-network like messaging architecture with accompanying reference implementation. FABRIQ is the result of a collaboration between Microsoft EMEA HQ and newtelligence AG. Project Lead: Arvindra Sehmi, Microsoft EMEA HQ Architect Lead: Clemens Vasters, newtelligence AG Development Lead: Eugenio Pace, Microsoft Corp.

The goal of this project, code-named “FABRIQ”, is to create a special-purpose, high-performance, service-oriented, one-way messaging infrastructure for queuing networks, agents and agile computing. It’s not a Microsoft product. It’s an architecture blue-print backed by code that we write so that customers don’t need to – at least that’s the plan.
I've been trying 24 hrs at http://www.freegmailinvites.com/ (what a good initiative!) but so far no luck.
I got already twice 4 sixes, and twive 6 fours, but .... that does not deliver me one invite for GMail. And no one feels sorry for me and sends me an invite...
Hosting ASP.NET

MonoDevelop 0.4 has been released. MonoDevelop is a GNOME IDE primarily designed for C# and other .NET languages. MonoDevelop is in the very early stages of development right now, and progressing quickly.
MonoDevelop has many features. Some of these include:
Class Management
MonoDevelop has a class viewer which allows you to list the classes in your project, their methods, and properties. Your namespaces are also kept track of to keep the classes separated. When you add something to your project, it will automatically be added to the class viewer, even if they're namespaces, classes, methods, or even variables.
Built-in Help
The .NET documentation and the Gtk# documentation are built into MonoDevelop for easy access.
Code Completion
With the .NET and Gtk# frameworks put together, it can be challenging to remember all the classes, methods, or properties that are at your disposal. MonoDevelop's intelligent code completion attempts to complete what you're typing. If it finds a match, just hit tab and MonoDevelop will do the typing for you.
Project Support
MonoDevelop comes with built in projects that help get you started with your console, Gnome# or Gtk# application.
Integrated Debugger
MonoDevelop integrates with the Mono Debugger to provide a graphical frontend to the debugger.
My god,
I haven't been here for a while for several reasons. First of all, I've been extremely busy with a time consuming project for the Dutch government. Second, I was fed up with the spam I got all the time in my mailbox from the dotnetjunkie blog. But that one looks solved now...
I belong to the .NET group in our company and for the first time in the last 4 years we have no developer without assignment or project. It looks like Dutch companies are back into business spending money on new applications. That's good, that's very good!! But... we actually have to turn down project because we don't have enough capacity to accept new interesting projects. What a shame! And it looks like it is difficult to find new developers with the right skills. Where are those C# gurus hiding in the Netherlands? We need at least an extra 5 to 10 people in the next months.
I guess every company is contracting extra developers right now around here and developers are most of the time going for the highest salary, though environment and team spirit are more important imho.
Is this a trend that we are all making at least 10 hours per day to please our clients because the right people can't be found?
