Busy, Busy, Busy
After posting quite regularly since the first of the year, I’ve fallen out of the habit a bit the last few days. But there have been some pretty good reasons:
- We’re putting on another developer workshop here in Redmond, for ISVs on the leading edge of building solutions that are tightly integrated with Office 12. It’s a great event, very educational for us as well as the attendees, but it sure eats up the days. And nights — I’m about to drive over to Champs Go-Karting, where we’re putting on an event for the developers tonight. We’re expecting a good turnout; software developers come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, but they all love to drive too fast.
- Some of the things I’m working on right now are not bloggable. Can’t really say more than that, but it’s fun to get involved in some new types of work. And it will all be stuff I can blog about eventually, but I need to respect and accept my place in the food chain.
- Today I had a bit of a self-induced Office meltdown. I was running the beta just fine, but got a little greedy and decided to upgrade to the latest daily build to get some of the bug fixes and enhancements that I saw on a co-worker’s machine. And I tried to do it in a hurry, which of course resulted in a big mess that I had to slow way down to get cleaned up.
But I’m back up and running, my hard drive is happily defragmenting (it really needed it after this afternoon!), and I’ll have a lot of good Office 12 technical content to write about in the next two weeks while I’m not traveling for a change.
Meanwhile, here’s something nice in the press about Microsoft’s approach to security patches. Has hell frozen over, or could it be true that we’re doing a good job of listening to customers these days?
Speaking of which, I need to get over to Champs and listen to some customers. The free beer ought to loosen up their tongues a bit; not that these guys need much help!
