First, I would like it to be known that I am only doing this under protest. I don't usually participate in blog memes, because most of them are damned silly. However, I got tagged on this one by Paul in what looks like a fairly typical spree of spreading the love, so I'll go ahead and do it. So here's the meme, in Paul's words: ...

Today, my company released a report comparing several anti-phishing technologies, including a beta version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7. I note this because I was one of the researchers and authors of the report. Needless to say, we're already catching a lot of flack in the press because we scored IE7 the highest of the various ...

Chapter 3 of my DCAR ebook is now online, details on my work blog. If you need to read about these things, enjoy.

Both kids woke up with an excess of phlegm, so we kept them home from school today. Sounds like a good day for them to work on updating their web sites and blogs, especially since I just handed out the URLs to the members of my family.

DCAR (Discovery, Compliance, Archival, and Retention) is a big topic these days.

A good chance to work on my fledgling .NET developer skills, along with another project for a ...

I'm staying up late to get a paper done for work. While I'd rather not pull late nights and long days, in reality I have an extremely high amount of flexibility and self-determination in the day-to-day details of my job. The flip side of that coin, however, is that I keep that freedom as long as I produce the deliverables I have been assigned by ...

I just shipped the first draft of Chapter 7 “Routing, Transport, and SMTP“ of The Exchange Cookbook to my editor and co-authors. I wrote this chapter entirely by myself. It started off with 47 recipes (including the introduction); final size was 27 recipes. Many of the missing 20 were duplicates of either recipes in other chapters, belonged better ...

Put Steph to bed a couple of hours ago and came back downstairs to finish up a recipe or two for the Exchange Cookbook, which I am co-writing with some awesome co-workers, and which is way behind schedule. When researching one particular twist got me frustrated, I dropped over to Yahoo!'s Launch website and fired up some streaming music videos in ...
