Hi all This blog will move to http://blogs.eliasen.dk/technical/ before long. No new posts will be added to this blog, and as soon as I have the time, I will try to set up some forward mechanism that automatically forwards from this blog to the new one so I can delete it. I am really hoping that this will mean a minimum of inconvenience to all readers of this blog. The reason I am momving away from this blog is that I am using dasBlog, which oer the years has grown more and more unstable and useless. It will not remember my login, the text editor on the blog web site has lost its wysiwyg editor. Windows Live Writer can no longer post to it and more. Basically, dasBlog hasn't moved along with .NET and it is simply time for me to move away from it. Also, BlogEngine.NET has just released version 2.5 which has the option of having multiple blogs in one installation so I am consolidating my blogs into one installation, making upgrading to newer versions a one-time-action instead of a one-tim-per-blog-action The new RSS feed will be located at http://blogs.eliasen.dk/technical/syndication.axd - please update any RSS readers accordingly.

Hi all

I took the exam (70-595) in BizTalk 2010 a couple of days ago.

This was my fifth exam in BizTalk, counting the exams in BizTalk 2000, BizTalk 2004, BizTalk 2006 and BizTalk 2006 R2.

And just to answer the most common questions:

• No, I didn’t prepare
• No, I can’t give you any pointers as to what to read

This completes my still perfect streak in BizTalk exams

Hi all

Today a customer asked me for the Custom Functoid Wizard. Before today I had never heard of it. I searched lots of places, and found several bog entries with links to the 2004 source code, installer, 2006 source code, installer and what not – but none of the links checked out.

So finally the customer found it himself, and just for the benefit of the rest of the world, I have placed the installer for the BizTalk 2009 version of the Custom Functoid Wizard at http://www.eliasen.dk/files/FunctoidWizardSetupInstaller.zip.

Hi all

Actually, I was warded the MDIP title quite some time ago – I just haven’t blogged about it.

The MDIP title is sort of a Danish mini-MVP award. It stands for Microsoft Designated Information Provider.

Yeah…

Hi all

Last week I participated in a pretty insane and intensive 5-day course covering the TOGAF 9 Foundation and TOGAF 9 Certified curriculum.

We were 11 people form Logica Denmark doing the course, and on Friday we all took the Foundation exam just after lunch. Luckily we all passed and then at 2pm we all took the Certified exam. The colleagues I have heard from by now all passed, and I am happy to announce, that so did I.

So I can now call myself TOGAF 9 Certified!

You can read more about The Open Group, TOGAF and the certifications at http://www.opengroup.org/, http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/ and http://www.opengroup.org/togaf9/cert/.
