Eric Rudder is interviewed on news.com, talking about acceptance of Visual Studio .NET. It’s a tough job after the confusing message from Bill Gates last week. imho.

Red-eye from Seattle to Manchester with a two hour layover in O’Hare at 5 AM is about as rough as it gets. Today’s major accomplishments were unpacking and walking the dogs. Good to be home.

There’s an old Bill Cosby routine where he plays Noah and teases his neighbor about the ark is his driveway. “I can’t tell you. Ha, ha, ha.”

Went to the Crabpot in Bellevue with Steve Sawyer, Doug Hennig, Gary DeWitt, Bonnie Berant, Mike Helland and Eric Moore. Nice place, scenic views, good service, good beer, good friends. Ah. A nice end to three busy days. Steve gave me a ride out to SeaTac, and I did the marathon redeye home from there.

First day of NET training. Drinking from a firehose. Good material. Brian Randell is knowledgable and funny. Material is good, but complex. Will the average Joe Programmer be able to use this stuff? Time will tell.

A busy Saturday. Did a few domestic things, like mow the lawn and turn over the compost, but goofed off a lot, and spent a fair amount of time packing for the trip to Redmond tomorrow. Woohoo.

Spent nearly the entire day working at a client. Paid work! Imagine that! Maybe the economy is turning around.

Cringely’s column this week is on eBay. I did not know that eBay was the third largest retailer in the US.

The fourth Thursday of the month, and time for the Boston Area FoxPro? Users Group meeting tonight.

No need to sweat Social Security, I guess. The BBC says a huge asteroid will destroy the Earth in 2019. However, they’re quite likely mistaken.
