First of all, doof is a fancy website with astonishing flash design (see above). User can adapt the screen according to …
Changes on my blog
A few days ago I made a few major changes on my blog:
The engine change went OK. Once I updated the files, there was a imprefections in querying database, but clicking the suggested link on wp-admin page solved them all.
Currently, when I have some free time I browse plugins and themes – still can find something better/new. So …

How to configure log4net on SharePoint?
Recently I had to add logging feature to the SharePoint project I’ve been developing. I had to use log4net. I followed my friend’s advice but for some reason it wouldn’t work in my case. I didn’t get any errors or exceptions. Simply nothing was logged to the file, which by the way would not be even created. All in all …
Java vs. C#
From now on I’ll be doing much more in Microsoft .NET rather than in Java. Thus, it seems my preparation for SCJP exam will slow down now… Also, I presume there’ll be slightly less about Java on that blog from now on (at least for some time).

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file used as attachment with MailMessage
Recently I had to improve the mechanism of sending emails so that files can be attached to it. As I used MailMessage it seemed to be an easy task, especially that MSDN provided an example of how to do it. They assumed there that the file used as the attachment was already on the server and it shouldn’t be deleted …
Web 2.0 and social networks around the world and in Poland
I’ve just read an article about popularity of Web 2.0 and social networks in general all around the world. Quite nice article to me.
Basing on what the information passes there, in Poland we don’t have any popular social networking websites. To some extend it’s correct – if Poles use social networking websites, these are mostly Polish services, mostly unknown …
