Hi there!

So finally I created this blog after I registered here for more than one year.

Let me introduce myself first. My name is Jie Li, now a Technology Specialist in Microsoft China. The technology I focused here is Enterprise Search. But I may talk about SharePoint, Lotus Domino/Notes, Linux/Unix, Windows Mobile and nearly everything.

You may have questions: what kind of envoriment did you use? Well, I was a "consultant" in a IT consulting company before I join Microsoft. So I dealt with Linux(mainly RHCE/Centos and Debian), Solaris 8/9, Lotus Notes/Domino R5/R6 and R8 (sorry no R7), Citrix Metaframe, Windows NT 3.5 -2003, Oracle 9/10, SQL Server 2000/2005, MYSQL 3-5, VMWare, Virtual PC/Virtual Server/Windows Server Virtualization. The programming languages I used include ASM, C/C++, ASP/ASP.NET, C#/VB, Pascal/Delphi, HTML/JS/XML/XSLT...

So that's a lot of different things. I'm not an expert on everything, but these experiences really helped when I want to intergrate different technologies, make things interoprate with each others.

And hey, although I don't like GPLv3, I love the word Open Source. This didn't changed even after I joined Microsoft. You can check some of my work, for example https://www.codeplex.com/searchadmin.

Why my nick name is "opal"? This name actrually is what I used for my first website since 1999. Many people call me that name in the communities, and paradiso is another nick name for me.
