is already live.  The article is a bit light,
given how much we talked, but it probably
reflects the fact that there are a lot more
soap opera-like blogs out than technical

is missing its ending, I think.

I wonder if I'll see any hits from new readers
in the Cedar Valley as a result...  We have a
few software developers in the area, so some
may even find my blog interesting.
