I’m currently going through the Christmas Eve grind at work today.  I have zero motivation so not much is getting done.  My excuse is I’m waiting on a support call from a vender.  I can’t do anything to challenging or time consuming since they might call. 

This has been a pretty interesting year.  When I switched over to this blog for all of my technical posts, I figured I would pretty much lose all my readers.  I mean if my mom doesn’t need to wade through the tech posts to find the one somewhat interesting to her, that will significantly reduce my numbers. But instead of that happening, this has been one of the better years as far as readership goes.  I’m not quite sure what has caused it.  Was it the more focused posts or the content?  Was it due to my larger involvement in the tech community?  My guess is it is because I’ve taken a more active roll in social networking when it comes to tech.  Hopefully 2010 is an even better year.

Speaking of 2010, I think I may make a few minor changes to this blog.  I’ll still have the tech posts but I may toss in a few non-IT related ones.  I’m one of those guys with a lot of hobbies and I enjoy sharing them with people.  Because of that, you may end up seeing more posts related to them.  I’m into amature photography.  Also there are few things I love more than taking some pieces of wood and turning them into something beautiful and/or useful.  Once the weather gets warmer, I’ll get out to the shop more and possibly post about it on here a little.  We’ll see. Don’t worry about me getting too broad with my posts.  I’ll keep the more personal posts and political commentary elsewhere. 

Thank you all for reading and I’ll see you next year!

I had high hopes to put some good content on this blog but between craziness at work and losing a week at TechEd, I managed to not post a single thing to this blog since my initial introduction.  I would apologize but since there isn’t any content here, I’m pretty sure that means I don’t have any readers here either.  Maybe I should put another post on my other blog to let you know I’m still alive.  Better yet, how about I actually post real content!  Unless something blows up, I’ll have a post here shortly.

Where is all the old content you ask? It’s at the old place, so if you know the address, you can find it.  I decided I needed to be a little more focused with my tech blog.  I’ll try to keep my political thoughts and other non-tech related posts elsewhere.  This blog is all tech, all the time. * Since I live in a Microsoft world, most of my posts will be about Microsoft’s enterprise products.  That includes Windows Server, Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint, etc.  But I also dabble in Unix so you may see some of those pop up at times.  I am also about to start a big Blackberry Enterprise Server project so you may see some of that as well.  Lastly, I’m sure I’ll be cursing Listserv from time to time as well…  grrr…

Please do not send complaints about how ugly this site it.  It’s all temporary.  I know I threw up a free WordPress template that looks like someone threw up but you didn’t come here for the pretty pictures now did you?  If anyone can recommend a cheap SharePoint based host, I will likely switch there soon.  Until then, please understand it will get better eventually.

* I will probably throw in other stuff from time to time but I’ll do my best to stay on topic and not stray too far.
