I started this blog at the beginning of 2007 and until now I had more than 10,000 unique visits, which is pretty good, I believe. I wrote here about LINQ, C#, C++, Visual Studio, events and others. I hope they served the readers well, and I’ll try to write more during the next year.
This year was a very good one for me, both at personal and professional level. Besides starting with this blog, I had the chance to attend the MVP summit in Seattle where I met a lot of friends from CodeGuru.com. I also co-founded Codexpert.ro, a Romanian site for C++ programmers, that goes better and better. I also changed jobs and had the opportunity to visit Norway and Sweden for some business trips. I can only hope the next year will be as good as this one.
Until I’ll be able to write new things, I wish you all a happy new year.

I was reading a book about Mobius band and I read about turning a sphere inside out, without making a hole in it. Though this appears impossible, it is actual possible when you follow some rules. Looking over the web I found a very good movie showing and explaining how it’s done. For those interested in mathematic curiosities, this 20 minutes video worth watching.
