« *Now* the winning streak is officially over... | Main| Book Review - Seeing Eye by Jack Ellis »

Sorry for the dramatic (for me) drop-off in content as of late...

Category Blogging

We're getting ready for some Christmas vacationing, and it's been a hectic week trying to get everything wrapped up before we start our adventures.  The January e-Pro development newsletter deadline falls during that period, so I had to get that all done and off to Libby.  Fortunately I had some guest writers who did a great job.  You'll like the January newsletter...  Then there was another Lotusphere-related article to finish that was due very soon.  And finally, there's the session slides for the Team-TSG jumpstart session "Java For The Domino Developer".  I had to get my part of the slides done and off to Joe so that he can do his part while I'm gone.  Oh, and there's that thing about my *real* job, too!  Plenty of loose ends to wrap up in order to keep all the customers and clients happy.

So given all that, the blogging and book reviewing took a bit of a back seat.  But hopefully I'll have some interesting material (non-tech stuff, sorry!) coming up from different locations.  So, depending on how the wi-fi snarfing goes in the various locations, you'll get some updates.  :-)

While on vacation, I hope to take some time to relax and plan out some activities and goals for the upcoming year.  I definitely want to do less *reading about* technology and more *doing* technology.  I'd like to get out of the "know a little about a lot" corner and start moving into the "know a lot about a few items" side of the room.

And I'd like to get a life, non-technically speaking.  :-)  Perhaps that can start with me "taking the plunge" (pun intended) and signing up for a short scuba certification class for a recreational dive while on vacation.  We'll see...

Gravatar Image1 - No problem. I figured you were just drowning your sorrows with the hockey team.

Gravatar Image2 - Have a safe and enjoyable vacation. I hope the actual traveling part is less eventful than at Thanksgiving!

Gravatar Image3 - Rob: Cool stuff... I'm getting more and more excited to do that.

Bonj: Yes, *PLEASE* let it be less eventful.

Gravatar Image4 - Duffbert - definitely do the scuba course while you're on vacation! I did the same thing a couple of years ago, and wound up going diving 4 times that week, including a night dive. Highly, highly recommended!

Gravatar Image5 - That was a legit concern, Ben.

Seriously, I can't find any fault with the team so far (except they need to play harder for the entire game instead of losing focus when they get up by a couple of goals). At 7 - 1, they already have more wins this year than they had in the last two years *combined*!
