So I've got a new look and feel for the site, thanks to my wonderful wife (who's doing the same on her site right now). She made a shiny new logo (seen on the right) and a nice clean look and feel for everything.

Unfortunately, I've been totally quiet over the last year or so... basically work won in the battle for my "computer time". And since I refuse to spend too much of my day outside of work staring at a computer screen, it limits me in how much I can write.

My role at work makes it difficult to focus on the more architectural and technical things that I enjoy working on (and which would provide fodder for a blog), yet it certainly has it's moments of challenge, inspiration and frustrations. I guess it's allot like a pure development job in that respect, I just have different things to think about.

I wanted to try and spend the time that I used to spend on architecture and instead spend it on development process types of topics, however it's hard to seperate the generalities from the specifics at work... which is something that is very important to me. I believe that what we do and how we do it is an evolutionary answer (as in, it changes almost every week), however the topic of what we learned tends to include things that are personal to the individuals involved.

There are some very interesting challenges that we deal with in each project we work on and each day we support our production environments. I'll try to give a gist of the information here in the future though...
