I haven´t had time to blog for a while, as you may have noticed, but I will do that asap.
I´m working on a very early alpha of a new version of the CZ Stats servce I used to work on before. For those who not know what it is, it is a web statistics service.
Some of the features I´m working on in the new version:
* RSS support with daily statistics for you site
* A windows vista sidebar gadget with daily statistics
* Weekly e-mail with statistics
* Enhanced api that allows youto show your statistics on your own site
* More detailed statistics
* Multi language support
And of course, it´s all free.
If you have any ideas, please let me now.
CZ Stats have been down for a while, but all the bugs are fixed and it should work perfectly. Please take a look at it at

2005 was a big year, both for me as a person and as a developer. The purpose of this post is to summarize the last year and set the goals for this new year.
2005
This was en very big year. Many things happed, both personal and as a developer. First of all, I became 20 years old which let me buy strong alcohol drinks here in Swedem. ;)
On the developer side a lot of things happend. The biggest thing this year must have been the PDC. I remember the PDC in 2003, I got so excited I couldn´t sleep for days. But this is the greatest thing ever. Sparkle, Cider, WinFX in general, WinFS, Vista, Office 12 etc, etc.. I go crazy when I think about it. Wish I were there..
The release of Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 and the .NET Framework 2.0 were the biggest full version releases this year.
2006
Wow! This year is going to be the biggest year ever! I have so many plans, and when it comes to all the new products that is going to be released this year.. wopah!
We can expect to see products like Internet Explorer 7, Windows Media Player 11, Windows Defender, Windows One Care, Office 12, Exchange 12, WinFX (WPF, WCF and WWF) and last, but not least Windows Vista!
This year is going to be so great. I cant wait to gwet my hand on sparkle so I can make those sexy applications. :)
- And some personal todo's.. First of all, I need to get a driving license. My family lives 700 km from here, so it would be nice to take the car there on the vacations.
- The next thing to do is to get a job! If i can´t find a job here for a .NET developer, I will do anything to get customers on my own. From 1 january this year I have my own company. :)
- Get a new compultr! I really need a new computer. I really do need a laptop that I can use both for personal things like school, and for job-related stuff like programming. If there are anyone out there with too much money, you now what to do. ;)
- Learn new techniques better! I need to learn more about AJAX and WinFX. I have been using Atlas for a while, but need to read more about the functions. When Chris Anderson releases his new book, I will go buy it directly. Any tips on a WCF book, anyone?
Happy new year!
