I've been tagged by Matías Woloski.

I like this game - You need to reveal five things about you that most of people don't know, and tag 5 other folks.

So here are mine:

- I'm 21 years old and live in Argentina. I work for Southworks and study at college.

-I'm a big music fan, I used to play guitar in a band for 3 years. The band was called Supernova and we used to play brit-pop-oasis kind of music.

-I'm afraid of the dogs, yeah really I cannot see them even if they're tied. I don't know where this fear comes from but I think it started when I was a little child.

-My first computer was a Commodore 128, the only thing that I could do with that machine was playing Prince of Persia. Then my grandfather bought me a 368DX and I played a lot and learnt a lot doing small quizes on QBasic. And tweaking config.sys and autoexec.bat to better administer computer's  memory.

-Books, books, books. I have a huge library at home, I love reading and it's something that I learnt when I was 4. From trips to redmond I bought more than 25 books. I don't read just about computers also Economics and Logic are cool topics for me.

The extra 5 pictures about me:

At The Cavern Club, old Supernova's time

At El Living, that's the funny place that I love.

At Space Needle, Seattle, 2006

At Southworks, with Mariano and Diego (who takes care of me when I'm at Redmond).

At DF, that's Jessy my sister, the picture is from Grandma's 70's birthday.

That's it, I'll keep taggin' people. My 5 tags are: Zaiden, Dami Galletini, Ezequiel Jadib, Eze Bella, and Lito Dam.

Matías Woloski wrote this amazing post about SOA Enterprise Security using WCF. The article is how the Federated Security Scenario was implemented on the SaaS sample solution - LitwareHR.

It’s really cool to see how he describes the artifacts used for the solution like : Security Tokens, SAML tokens, authz policies.

Read it here "The holy grail of Enterprise SOA security" -Matías Woloski

As you might now Microsoft released the final version of Windows Live Messenger 8.1. What you might won’t know is that this version has hidden emoticons that helps on good purposes each time they’re used.

The supported organization is www.ninemillion.org that provides education and the posibility to play sports to the refugees children of the world.

Using the following shortcuts you will be able to use the new emoticon and Microsoft will contribute to www.ninemillon.org each time you start a conversation using that emoticon. The list of short-cuts is the following:

*sierra
*bgca
*9mil
*hsus
*komen
*one
*mssoc
*care
*acs
*oxfam
*mod
*help
*red+u
*unicef
*wwf
*naf

You just have to include one of those words and you’ll have your nickname or personal message with the emoticon mentionated above (you must include the * too). That will look like:

Help those kids, there’re the future. You know, it doesn’t cost you a single cent.
