On January 2nd, I wrote this post (which I’ll quote directly from):


“I have one, and only one, resolution this year:
I resolve to be happier in my life (work and home).”


While my day job has provided me with a steady income and some great people to work with, it has kept me from my family more than I like.

I didn’t intend on sitting in on this session, but after being bored in the IIS 7 session, I thought I’d try something different.


This session was good, but would have been a lot better if the demos had worked.
