Gad J. Meir has worked in the computer industry for many years; his second computer language was assembly of PDP 8. His main specialty today is using MSF (Microsoft Solution Framework) principles to identify faults in development or deployment processes/procedures. Gad’s main task is to pre-empt problems in the project-planning phase. Unfortunately, he is usually summoned at the last minute, either when the project is about to die or worse still, for the post mortem. Dealing with corpses is directly connected with his second specialty, which is analyzing dumps, blue screens and other low-level plumbing tasks. Gad’s favorite role is accompanying projects as a technical mentor. In this position, he is exposed to a wide variety of challenging problems, where he uses his extensive hands-on experience to find creative practical solutions. Gad is currently the R&D Manager at IDAG Ltd. (http://www.idag.co.il) and his blogs can be found at http://weblogs.asp.net/gadim/ and http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/gadim.
