	Welcome to efimov.org! Hello, Welcome to my website. I'm a professional software engineer, who has more than 15 years of experience with different computer-related technologies . I hope that you will find here some ideas, code snippets, or projects, which will make your life easier. Lately I've been working a lot with C++, C#, COM, and different web-related technologies such as SOAP and Web Services. My commercial experience is mostly with C, C++ and .Net in Windows environment, but my hobby projects are spanning Pocket PC, port from Windows to Linux, home automation in Perl under Linux, and some light Xbox hacking in Python . I also got acquainted with Java programming under Linux during my classes in Harvard. If you cannot find something, that you are looking for, then let me know, and we can arrange custom project for you. Sincerely, Michael Efimov


	NDepend is released About a year ago I've read a book "Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices" by Robert Martin, which have introduced a nice metrics for design quality. I was eager to write a program which would use .Net reflection and calculate those metrics on existing products, but never got around to do that. Well, what do you know? Apparently there now is a program, call NDepend, which does just that. Sweet.

	XML for Resumes I just started to use RSS Bandit to get my news, and surely stumbled upon DonXML's post about HR-XML compliant resume. I've had my resume in HR-XML format since 2001, and could not be happier. I've had all those nice ideas about different formatting, and created a handful of xsl stylesheets to convert my resume into html, word documents and plain text.

	MyIpConfig on Source Forge I've started my first Open Source project on Source Forge. MyIpConfig is a simple utility for PocketPC, which is inspired by WinIPCfg utility from Windows 9x times.

	Code Snippets: Getting Process ID by Name and Owner using WMI Use WMI to get process id by name and user. The problem is that Win32_Process.GetOwner requires SeDebugPrivelege, and .Net framework does not let you adjust priveleges. I'm using COM interop to get there...

	bugs: Pretty nasty bug in interaction between Oracle, ODBC and COM+. It happens, if we are accessing more then one database in one COM+ transaction. We are relying on ODBC connection pooling, so we typically open a connection to one database, run some queries, close the connection, then open connection to another database, run some queries, etc. It used to work nicely with MTS.
