Taken from Gartner Says the World of Work Will Witness 10 Changes During the Next 10 Years. Very true and very interesting read.. ...snip...
"The workplace is becoming more and more virtual, with meetings occurring across time zones and organizations and with participants who barely know each other, working on swarms attacking rapidly emerging problems. But the employee will still have a "place" where they work. Many will have neither a company-provided physical office nor a desk, and their work will increasingly happen 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In this work environment, the lines between personal, professional, social and family matters, along with organization subjects, will disappear. Individuals, of course, need to manage the complexity created by overlapping demands, whether from the new world of work or from external (non-work-related) phenomena. Those that cannot manage the underlying "expectation and interrupt overloads" will suffer performance deficits as these overloads force individuals to operate in an over-stimulated (information-overload) state."

Openssl wrappers for .NET are available at Sourceforge OpenSSL.NET. Very poorly documented but turns out to be very easy to use. Simply add the ManagedOpenSsl.dll reference to your c# code and have at it. Sample code:
I had to do some basic P/Invoke calling from C# today and am sharing the code just for giggles. P/Invoke is essentially calling functions that reside in an unmanaged DLL from managed code. It's fairly straight forward to do with the hardest part being parsing the MSDN to get the proper signatures for the functions you wish to DLLImport. There is a great resource at
For those that don't know, I keep an updated list of books (novels mostly) read and my reviews of them at this link. Have fun and let me know what you think.

I just returned from Source Boston 2010 conference and had a fantastic time. I presented a slightly modified version of my Shmoocon talk on Blackberry Mobile Spyware. Once again, the people were awesome and the talks were phenomenal. I highly recommend getting to this conference in 2011.
