Microsoft Image Composite Editor

I discovered this new experimental tool from Microsoft. Actually it is not new but I recently got my hands on it. It stiches the photographs together and mimics that, uhmm like, you have a wide angle camera. Let's first see my 2 stitches...



And now the other one with less distinctive features;



As you can see, if the pictures' patterns are not too distinctive it does some error's but if they are distinctive enough, it works wonders. These all are taken with an iPhone. What if you had an actual camera and take the shots outside, not indoors?



You would have probably this... [This is not mine this, last one, is Microsoft's Demo]

What did I do? Nothing, all details are here and it is amazingly easy to use. http://windowslive.com/Connect/Post/4c24fc70-3ef4-4bee-8de2-68bea65227ee

Tess Ferrandez's Blog

What comes to your mind if the subject is ASP.NET and debugging?

To me it is Tess Ferrandez, ASP.NET Escalation Engineer (Microsoft). In her blogs she addresses the "memory issues", "performans issues", "crash scenarios", "debugging" etc...

Espcially crash scenarios are interests of mine. They are so well written and handy. Many to learn many to discuss she offers. If you call your self an ASP.NET developer, scratch that, if you are even slightly interested in anything that uses IIS or even ASP or, hmm scratch that too.

Sigh, you need to see her blog and decide for yourself. It is so informative and well written, I can't even describe how helpful it is. In her own words;

"This blog is intended to help people that develop applications with the .net framework resolve issues on production system, mainly using Windbg.exe from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx along with sos.dll that ships with the debugging tools."

You can also follow her on Twitter too.
