It’s been a wild summer so far. Here are just a few of the changes that have unfolded.

I wrote a book… It’s a tech book about creating desktop gadgets for Windows Vista aimed at power users who want to wade into creating their own gadgets. It’s due for release on October 29th. The next great American novel it is not. But it is a book and it has my name on it. So that’s a little bit exciting. The folks at Wiley (the publisher) helped guide me along throughout the process. And although I enjoyed the process, I am also really glad to be done and have some free time back in my life again.

I changed jobs… But I’m still at Wharton. At the beginning of the summer, my boss Terry Ryan moved on to another position within the school. I moved into his position managing the school’s ColdFusion environment. I still get to do a mix of application development, some light server administration, and hopefully more community development amongst the distributed developers scattered throughout the school.

I merged blogs… The whole tech/personal division on this site was not working. So I merged the two streams back into one site. That’s one less WordPress install to worry about.
