Bliggin Blog

For some reason my wife says that phrase every time I mention my blog.  She thinks it should be the name of my site.  Not likely.

So, I haven't posted in quite some time.  In fact I haven't posted in over a month.  I haven't given up.  Two factors kept me away from blogging in October.  One, I was insanely busy visiting customers and hosting conference calls to discuss Windows Vista as we got closer and closer to RTM, and then the following weeks as customers got access.  Two, many of the things I was thinking about were not RTM yet and so I didn't want to publicly write about them.  This has nothing to do with confidentiality although that would be another good reason, I just don't like to talk about a technology until the details have been locked down.  There's a better than 0 chance that something will change during development and make something I said incorrect, so IMHO it's better to just avoid doing it.

Now I have a thousand thoughts bottled up and am ready to get back in to blogging.  I'm going to make a commitment to myself.  I am going to blog every day for the next 30.  From now until Christmas day I am going to post every day.  I'm trying to keep in mind with that kind of frequency not everything has to be focused on Vista...

Also - testing supplemental server for photos/maps, etc.  Excuse the aerial map of the St. Louis Microsoft office:
