PDC Panels: me too
Joel is a fellow RD who will be covering two of the PDC panels. I will be covering one myself (Client Architecture: The Zen of Data-Driven Applications). The idea behind the panels is interesting: put some authoritative Microsofties with a few hundred geeks, let the geeks fire at will and see if the Microsofties can come alive and complete... To put some order in this potential mare magnum, PDC Bloggers has setup a site where people can submit questions, vote for them and finally review the answers (and, of course, criticize them). Neat.

As a Microsoft Regional Director and member of the RD Advisory Committee I have the privilege of having *free* entrance to the PDC (thank you, Eileen), unfortunately that leaves the T&E part for me. Living in Ecuador, that could be a quite pricey part, but I'm tired of the guys talking like "Whidbey does this" and "Whidbey is that" and I'm eager of using generics, so I'm definetely paying my part of the deal and in just a few weeks, I'll be the envy of the Ecuadorian .NET community (and I guess my credit card owners are really happy now also). See you at the PDC!

How many controls in a tab page?
I was trying to refresh my skills on tab controls and tab pages reading Erik Brown's very good Windows Forms Programming with C# when I found this pearl:

A silly matter of style

Attributes, session management, weblogs and Google
I just had a faint memory of an e-mail by Clemens Vasters about a small set of .NET attributes for managing ASP.NET sessions. The idea was (now I know) to do something like this:
