I am writing this at the Microsoft Windows CE Compact 7 one day seminar on Intelligent Systems. One caveat as you read this, you are going to find that there is really no continuity in this blog entry because I am writing this as it happens. A definition of Intelligent Systems…
I write this message at 9:45pm on Sunday. The weekend is over, and we are getting ready to begin the next week. Saket is singing as he gets ready to sleep. And that is what this post is about. All of us sang this song throughout the weekend. I cant believe how addictive it is! […]
