No Rest For The Wicked...
What a busy couple of weeks it's been. Egad. Was out of town all last week at meetings for work. Nice to break the routine, but all week was a bit long.
Week before we got hit by lightening. Fried our TIVO, two network hubs and all of the NICs that were hooked to 'em.
On the bright side, we finally got our van back from the repair shop. Someone hit us last year, and scheduling issues kept getting in the way of getting it fixed. Looks nice without the dents and scratches.
I also took advantage of the road trip to swing by a decent book store, picked up a couple of new books on C# 2005. Currently reading Juval Lowey's "Programming .Net Components". Well written, definately not a beginners book. It's looking like there's a shift beyond OOP to Components in the .Net world. Of course I'm only on chapter 2, will update as I go through it.
Weird link of the week: http://savetoby.com/. This guy is threatening to eat his pet rabbit if the general public doesn't buy 100,000 copies of his book. Previously he was threatening rabbit stew unless people donated 50k. He'd actually collected 28,000 before pay pal shut him down.
I say, set the table and bring on the rabbit stew!
