Quiet on the home front

I've been pretty quiet lately because I've been jumping between a lot of things lately. But here's what I've been up to.

1) Preparing to make the jump to light speed, I mean VS 2010 / Silverlight 4 / Blend 4. And not a minute too soon!

2) Working on a new eponymous website to replace the cheesy looking one I have now. Built in Silverlight, with graphic design by the illustrious Aimee. This site uses WCF RIA Services (although most people won't see that, because it's used by a members-only application for a club I belong to. Sorry, folks! What you will see is the cool layout and design stuff.

3) Playing with MongoDb and the MongoDB C# drivers. Need to learn the strengths and weaknesses of a NoSQL system to figure out if and when I want to use it for projects (personal or otherwise). I have read mixed reports of experiences with MongoDB. It has the advantage of having .NET driver support with a pretty active community working on that.

4) New book club. June's book was Count of Monte Cristo, this month is Guns, Germs & Steel. Sorry, that's not tech based - but it's what I'm doing.

5) Missing my loved ones. *sigh*
