This past week was incredibly busy for me. My project at work is in a critical stage and takes a lot of my time. Then, I went to my Optometrist who gave me the good news / bad news. Bad news - my vision has slipped a little. Good news is that it is not too bad. Good enough to drive, but just bad enough to cause some annoyance since I cannot see crisply, or recognize people's faces until they get up close. So if you guys don't see me waving back at you, I'm not being rude - I just cannot see you. (That's my story and I am sticking to it!). Anyway, the annoying part is after all these years, just when HDTV is upon us and I bought a beautiful Samsung LCD panel, now my vision slips. Grr!
I attended the West Michigan day of .Net this past Saturday at Davenport by the Grand Rapids airport. I was very impressed with the speakers. It was a great opportunity to catch up with technologies. I spent ALL of Sunday (I mean 10am to past midnight!) reading up on all the things the speakers talked about, and gave references, and other things I was not familiar with. It looks like this year there is a lot of emphasis on TDD, testing tools, continuous integration. Also WCF and WPF are big. There were talks on new languages F#, Boo/DSL, and also a mention of Ruby. I'm gonna read up on them sometime in the future, especially F#.
