Back after more than 2 years

Wow, more than 2 years have passed without a new post on my blog. Well, actually no excuse could be made for such a long period but I'll try my best in the following lines.
The truth is, that my life has changed drastically. Two years ago I was working as a software developer in Sofia, Bulgaria, married without children. Now, two years after that, I'm a second year master student in Bochum, Germany. I'm studying applied computer sciences at the Ruhr university. And I'm still married to my lovely wife with that difference, that I have a sweet daughter now :)

But how did all this happen?
Well, it's a long story, but I'll try to tell it as short as possible. I was not happy with my life in Sofia and the professional and personal perspectives that were for me and my family there. After 5 years as a software developer at OmegaSoft I didn't see what I could learn more and I was not so happy with how our project was going in general. Nevertheless I was loyal to my company until the end, despite some job offers for no less than 150% of what I was payed at my company. However the main reason for the "all-in" Germany move was not related with my job, but with the personal and social aspect of such a change. We decided to have a child and Sofia was not the place where we wanted to raise a one. So we started to learn german and we wanted to start a "new" life in Germany. I hope I will soon have my family here by me.

That whole change and the activity going with that, I mean the learning of german and the university were the reasons to not write for such a long time. Now I will try to write regularly, not only technical stuff but everything I find worth sharing and reading.

Back again...

Hello there,
it's been a while since I last posted on my blog. The reasons of course are many. First of all I didn't knew that somebody's actually reading my posts. So I was quite surprised when I read some comments on my older posts. Also I was glad, yes you got me right, glad when I saw the typical russian spam. That was to tell me that my blog is already indexed by Google. Hooray!

From now on I promise myself to write much more. Not that I'm some kind of software GURU and my post have a tremendous influence to the community, but I find it good to share some of my modest experience with the software technologies I work with and also some of the thoughts that my head gives birth of, before they are irretrievably gone.

So, I thought that now is the time to put some lines of text on my latest work experience. Also I'm now stuck for a week at home, sick, sniveling and quite bored. Sometimes I ask myself whether I prefer to be busy or to relax. And I always hate the answer, cause sadly resting I take now as wasting my precious time.

I'm working lately on a silverlight project and that gave me the opportunity to understand silverlight more deeply. Also I use Blend for a designer tool cause Visual Studio lacks a silverlight designer. I'm planning 2 post on that, one on silverlight and another one on Blend 2 and Blend 3.
Also I'm planning to write a substantial article about my opinion on what is going on in my home country Bulgaria. Of course it will be "hater like" one, cause things are getting worse and worse.
