As you might have noticed, I have been off on a fairly long sabbatical from technical blogging. I had undergone a position change at work that resulted in me being more involved from a process and management perspective. As a result, I didn't have the time or inclination to blog about technical things. You might be asking yourself, "what changed?" Well, I'll tell you.

I'm much more comfortable in my new role, so I have more to say about some things that aren't touched on here much, like licensing and other Microsoft-related items. I also have a lot of projects coming up that should be of interest for a large number of people here, like BDD 2007 and Vista, which I will be spending a lot of time on. one thing that has become important to me is building a test lab for client issues, so I'll be detailing that process as well.

I'm still a Mac user. Shut up Henry. I can hear you laughing all the way down here. I'll be building a personal lab using virtual machines on a MacBook later this week, so I should have some fun stuff to talk about.

With that, here I am. I enjoyed seeing many of you at MMS again this year. It is always great talking to you. I'll be updating my blog home page over the next little bit, but you can use the contact form to reach me.
