What I’ve been up to

I know I haven't posted anything in a while. The reason? Well, I don't think I had anything of importance to say. However, I haven't been inactive, either, so here's what I've been up to lately:

• Picked up again on my reading of "Transaction Processing: Concepts and Techniques", by Jim Gray and Andreas Reuter. (I also had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Gray's presentation at the Server DevCon last month and really enjoyed it!)
• Working hard (worked all Saturday and Sunday with a co-worker doing heavy refactoring of our core code... thank god today's a holiday here!)
• I've been working on porting some sample code I had lying around from the VS.NET beta 1 days over to RTM
• Trying out a few things on Windows .NET Server RC1, and really liking it so far
