Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

In response to my "Know of a good FTP Program?" post, I got a number of responses from folks who recommend FileZilla. Even better was a pointer to the PortableApps.com version. I loves me some portable apps. Why? Cause I throw all portable programs on a FolderShare folder and use Launchy to launch them. No start menu clutter, no installation, and my applications roam to all my PCees. Sweet.
Anyway, FileZilla is nice (thanks guys) but for some reason it will not let me drag a file from a remote server to the desktop (in the shell). WTF? I can drag a file from the desktop back to the remote server though. Plus the icons in the app look like crap. Oh well, it's free, it works, and it's not incessantly annoying.
Thanks everyone for the pointers!
