Update Time

Few people would argue that 7 months between blog posts is excessive. This is something I've been struggling with, but I've decided to make an honest effort to post more frequently.

It's difficult to step into the spotlight, largely because to do so is to risk ridicule, and indeed, public embarrassment. One thing I’ve struggled with is that I know dozens of people who know more about Software Development than I do. Notwithstanding my knowledge of this fact, I had an epiphany.

It’s true that I know far less than a lot of people. It’s equally true, however, that I know far more than a lot of people. So, while some will read this blog, uncover errors, and perhaps chuckle arrogantly at my posts, other might find it helpful. At the end of the day, isn’t that what techie blogging is all about? I know I’ve certainly benefited from blog posts!

Here’s a preview of some topics to come:

  • Using .NET Directory Services with Active Directory and LDAP
  • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), or Service Orientation if You Prefer
  • My Take on C# 3.0 and the Next Generation of .NET (a popular topic since the Microsoft PDC)
  • Rants, Raves, and other Ramblings
  • Assorted off-topic oddball posts
