I am finally writing code again… I am happy about that because I was effectively not coding for over a year. Yes, for over a year, almost 15 months actually. That is a long time for me not to write code because it is one of my main creative outlets. I will be releasing one […]

Can you believe it? Already October again. Sigh. The year really flies when you lose half of it to Carbon Monoxide. On the positive side I don’t have fear turning on the furnace in a few weeks when it gets a little colder. So Oct 1 has come and is almost gone (here in the […]

I thought I was done with the books I was reviewing a few weeks ago. I found out later that I was wrong, there were a few more chapters I had to do for the Active Directory Cookbook 3rd Edition. Thankfully, I finished that up tonight. 🙂 CHEER!   I received my new compiler via Fed […]

So I just found out I am not done with Active Directory Cookbook 3rd Edition, a couple of more chapters haven’t been uploaded to the SharePoint yet. That sucks. Can’t wait to get that off my plate so I don’t have to worry about it anymore. Rating 3.00 out of 5

I am finally done reviewing Active Directory 4th Edition and Active Directory Cookbook 3rd Edition. It is nice to get those off my plate so I can get some other stuff done – like cleaning the house. One of the first things I will try to clean up is the ~4000 unread messages in my […]
