About the Junkie

I am a Software and Network Engineer in Los Angeles working for a non-profit organization. I have been working on the .NET platform for the last couple of years.

I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate who defected due to a lack of interesting jobs in the field and my fascination for computers and programming. It has been a fun transition and satisfying I might add.It can be very frustrating when you hit a roadblock while programming, the blogs and other resources can be life savers during this time and have helped me immensely on many occasions. I have always wanted to have a blog to share the problems and their fixes. And I have finally taken the plunge.

I hope this blog helps.

Office Live and Sky Drive

Microsoft is offering free 5GB storage with Office Live and 25GB with Sky Drive. Of course you need a Windows Live ID or Hotmail. You can keep your files private, public or share them with people you choose. You can upload almost any type of file with few exceptions. The current upload capacity per file is 50MB. With Office Live Update, you can access your online documents directly from Office applications. Apparently they have been offering this for a while and I was totally unaware of this. I must have been living in a cave.
