Coming out of hybernation

Published Sun, Mar 26 2006 0:04 | William

Recently I took a blog hiatus.  The main reason (if anyone cares) is b/c I've been stretched thin on time.  I have three books I'm working on, was working on a side contract, started working as a Moderator on the .NET Framework Data Access and Storage and a whole lot more.  I'm basically living in between two cities and trying to hold down a job in the third.  I have a 45 minute commute each day to and from work, and a two hour commute two and from Kim's house.  Yes, it's a little difficult.  Anyway, I'm going to share some of my secrets on getting things done, which, believe it or not, many will find immensley helpful.  As is the case with everything I do, it involves a lot of technology and obsessive compulsive behavior, but it's gotten me through a time period I never thought I was going to get through.

I was at the Barnes and Noble in Greenville today and was really stoked.  Four copies of my books were there.  Sahil's book was featured prominently and I'm honored to be mentioned in it. 

Anyway, one of the first things I'd like to announce is ...

MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-536): Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0—Application Development Foundation .  Yep, that's me right next to Shawn Wildermuth which is in and of itself a true honor. I'm doing a few more which, is not only cool, but has taught me more than I'd have ever imagined.

My Speech Server book is coming along and it's going to be pretty good.

jb - I need to talk to you about doing some travel to places neither of us have been yet. You'll have to join my group first and get brainwashed, uhh, I mean schooled on our ways, but it'll be worth it.
