SAP in Bulgaria Written on September 28, 2006, by akafazov.
Several days ago I saw this short movie on google about the new SAP office in Bulgaria.

Threads in DLL … (part 2) Written on September 25, 2006, by akafazov.
So, back to the problem of the last post.
The first thing I did is to see what is going on with the worker-thread. I know that Windows would never just kill a thread, I have to Stop it explicitly, so I wanted to test if this is really the case. Checking the status on the [...]
Thread in DLL incorrectly killed Written on September 22, 2006, by akafazov.
Днес имам следният проблем. Написал съм DLL на С++ и го ползвам от C# клиент. При затваряне на клиента ДЛЛ-а се деинициализира посредством метод shutdown(). Този метод не прави нищо друго освен да спре всички работещи нишки и да върне. Проблемът е че при някои обстоятелства една от нишките не може да се прекрати, тъй [...]

FreeBSD 6.0 as VPN Gateway Written on September 6, 2006, by akafazov.
I spent some time this weekend trying to configure my FreeBSD6.0 machine to act as a VPN gateway. I didn’t need to connect two separate networks, I just wanted to authrize a single user in the local network.
After some searching in the net I found that there are several ports that can be used [...]
Why are manifests important in .NET Written on September 6, 2006, by akafazov.
Today at work we had another problem with a DLL file as trying to deploy it on another machine. I have previously written about the FileNotFoundException problem, as I tried to use a managed library and that it had to do with the fact that some of the dependencies are not found. The real issue [...]
