Mathematics in ancient cultures

Last week I saw a television program about the philosopher Heron of Alexandria. He was an interesting man, and made great many inventions.

When looking for additional information from him on the Internet, I found a nice site that talks about different philosophers of the early times, and also dives into the old cultures and teaches us about their mathematics.

ASP.NET 2.0 resources

I've spent some hours this summer to investigate what ASP.NET 1.1 is all about. I've learned a lot, but many things are still somewhat shaded.

But as always, development won't stop, and soon ASP.NET 2.0 is here.

If you are developing web applications today, it might be a good idea to look what ASP.NET 2.0 has got for you once it is here -- this ought to save you some time in future migration projects.

A good resource is Migrating from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0, which contains a good comparison of ASP.NET 1.x and 2.0, and details how to migrate when the time comes.

And, as security is always an issue nowadays, consider peeking at the article Foiling Session Hijacking Attempts as well. It is good.

Tampere from 125 meters

I was visiting Tampere last Thursday, and decided to spend part of the day at the Särkänniemi Amusement Park.

It was a fun place, and above all I liked the Näsinneula tower, which is about 170 meters high. From up there, you can see a nice view of Tampere and the surrounding areas.

Summer holidays

I had the chance to start my month-long summer holidays last week, and so far it has been fun. Though the weather could be better, it is great to stay outdoors and enjoy time away from the office.

In August everything should be back to normal, though.
