    So, I’ve got some rough goals for myself from Kaizenconf… (in no particular order) I’m going to make really learning the MVC framework a higher priority so our team here can have enough info to consider whether to move the team that way eventually… I mean, of course we will, but I’ve got to have…

    This is a lot of fun.  I’m definitely learning, meeting lots of people who were previously only blog photos/email addresses to me, and I’m having a great time too.  Also, there’s some VB.NET – converted stuff I’ve been alerted I should post.  Woohoo, contributing back in my own tiny way.  Consider this my reminder to…

    Attended an AlamoCoders meeting tonight.  Interesting talk on jQuery by John Teague.

    So, I’m working on heading to San Antonio-permanently! I’m still locking down details about exactly when and how, but I’ve started my research on tech groups in the area. Unfortunately, I don’t see an Alt.Net specific group down in San Antonio like the fantastic DC Alt.Net group, but I’ve found Alamo Coders, which sounds like…

    OK, this is a bit late, but last week we had the monthly DC Alt.Net meeting. On a bit of a different spin, the topic of the week was Lisp, led by Craig Andera. I hadn’t done any Lisp save for some very, very simplistic stuff back in the college Programming Languages course, so it…

    Yesterday, I attended my first Code camp.  I thought it was great! Yes, semesters of lectures in college was a bit tiring, but now, I find I’m hungry for them, especially when it’s just a day. I work with some smart, nice people, but as I’m pretty much on my own in my technical area,…
