I recently found nice and funny quiz about IT security on CIO website, which I am following.
Quiz is nicely done, with decent questions (Firewalls, VPNs, SSL, PKI, encryption, etc.), and provides some explanations of answers.
You can check it here: http://www.cio.com/article/598399/Quiz_Do_You_Know_IT_Security_?page=1#slideshow

Few weeks ago I have been notified by Microsoft that I have been selected as MVP (Most Valuable Professional) for Dynamics AX. This is a great honour for me, especially with so few MVPs in Microsoft Dynamics AX field. I will do my best to continue helping the community in future, as I did in past.
Here is a quote from Microsoft MVP website explaining this award:
Since the early 1990s, Microsoft has recognized the inspiring activities of MVPs around the world with the MVP Award. MVPs freely share their deep knowledge, real-world experience, and impartial, objective feedback to help people enhance the way they use technology. Of more than 100 million users who participate in technology communities, around 4,000 are recognized as Microsoft MVPs.
MVPs make exceptional contributions to technical communities, sharing their passion, knowledge, and know-how. Meanwhile, because MVPs hear the opinions and needs of many others in the technical community, they are well-placed to share highly focused feedback with Microsoft...
My Microsoft MVP profile can be found here.

In the aftermath of our success with the big jump from version 3 to version 5 of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, we have extended our winning streak by winning the Serbian Association of Software Engineering’s Plaque for Innovation in Business use of IT.
For that matter I’ve been an honoured guest in the national radio show Digital Icons along with other winners.
Also the national television made a report on the Plaque winners during the final ceremony and can be seen here. A new company that specializes in electronic media also made the report which can be seen here.

After upgrading of my blog to BlogEngine.NET 1.6, I picked up a new version of source code and got my hands dirty with my modification to SocialBookmarks extension.
My primary goal was to add support for Google Buzz, using Google Reader sharing. I also did some refactoring (IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) better readability and increased maintainability with reduced code size by 1/3)), cleaned HTML a little, and worked on issue with images path, so you can now leave it blank.
Here is the complete file with all images (including Google Buzz and Facebook): SocialBookmarks v1.2.zip (104.31 kb). Just unzip it to directory where your BlogEngine.NET is installed.

After all our last year’s success crowned by winning the Discobulos award once more, I was invited for an interview with eKapija, one of the most appreciated Serbian business online magazines. It was a great honor to be offered such an opportunity, especially for “Who is who” section.
After the interview was published I was surprised to see it rapidly become quite popular, later the article of the month in its category and eventually the most popular interview ever published on eKapija.

Today I upgraded my blog to BlogEngine.NET 1.5.
I installed some extensions. I added the extension for Social Bookmarking (http://www.dannydouglass.com/post/2008/01/15/Add-Social-Bookmarking-Links-To-Your-Blog.aspx). It was missing Facebook sharing functionality, so I made some modifications to it, and notified the author. I hope he includes Facebook support in new version.
I am attaching just the archive with changes (C# file and 2 images): SocialBookmarks Extension - Modification.zip (7.48 kb)

For the second year in a row Delta Sport has won the International ICT Award, Diskobolos (Discobolus), this time in finances category. The Diskobolos award is given by JISA (Union of ICT Societies of Serbia) for the best achievements in the usage of information and communication technologies in almost all fields of social and business life.
This year we entered the finals with our successful upgrade from version 3 to version 5 of Microsoft’s flagship ERP system (Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009). Microsoft has elected us as the best case study among 37 countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and made a video case study about our epic ERP upgrade project.
At the official ceremony in the Continental Hotel, on behalf of the company, I received the award. Once again (like last year), I would like to emphasize that this awards is result of work of the whole company.

I am a big fan of keyboard shortcuts, since they increase developer and user productivity greatly. The shortcut wallpapers for Visual Studio and ReSharper are especially nice, since they come in one page flavor.
I always missed something like this for Dynamics AX 2009. We had some version that was created by Vanya Kashperuk (http://kashperuk.blogspot.com/2008/07/microsoft-dynamics-ax-2009-keyboard.html), so I converted it to one page format. Unfortunately we ended up with two pages (one for developers and one for end users), but it looks very nice, and the team likes it.
Here is the link for download: DynamicsAX 2009 Shortcuts.pdf (270.14 kb)
Please use, share, and if you come up with better version, send us info.

This year the Synergy (Sinergija) had two days of lectures, instead of three days like in previous years. I held three lectures this time:
- The Big Jump - From “Axapta 3.0” to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009
- Scrum with Team Foundation System 2010
- Maintainable and Robust Development with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
I was pleased to see that this year we had foreign guests attending the lectures, including my lecture on Scrum that I held in English in the manner of a friendly host.
What I am most proud of, among my this year’s efforts concerning the Synergy is that my role as coach was crowned by the fact that I had trained one of my associates so that he was able to hold a lecture all on his own, after just a few words of introduction by myself.
