Many may have noticed a lag in my keeping the blog up to date.  I've tried, somewhat successfully, to post some thought every few days.  However, the past few weeks have been crazy that I haven't had much of a chance to submit any meaningful thoughts.  What with the various projects around the house and at work it's been nie impossible to break away and put some real thought into a technical discussion on an interest.  Though I'm sure I'll have some free moments in the days to come to formulate a reasonable discussion around something I'm working on.

Today, however, offers a moment of reprieve.  I am getting packed and ready to go to the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Minneapolis, representing Experlogix.  Last year I had the opportunity to attend the WPC in Toronto and had a great time - I expect nothing less this year.  It looks to be fantastic.  Interest around our web-based product configurator has been spreading like wildfire over the last year and a half.  This year we have some new things to show too: deeper integration with Microsoft CRM as well as new integration with Microsoft Great Plains (something that partners and customers have been clamoring for).

Upon returning, I'm taking a week off work to work.  In fact I'm very excited to teach a custom, advanced C# course.  In years gone by I was a trainer and instructor and have a very warm place in my heart for teaching.  It's been a passion of mine since I got into full-time instruction back in 1992 and I am looking forward to the coming weeks.
