It's been a couple of months since I announced I was starting work on an MVC version of the webcomic hosting software and now it is time for an update!
Um. About that.
A number of things have de-railed that project until now.
First, I've been learning a ton of new technologies at work. Sharepoint, SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, Performance Point, MDX, various-other-alphabet-soup-of-acronyms. We are pushing boldly forth into the world of Business Intelligence. Very cool stuff, but it limits the old free time at home.
Second, my family took advantage of the really good deals Walt Disney World has been offering. We did the "stay four days, get three days free" package. Long story short: best... vacation... EVER! I really hate to admit how much I like Disney World. I would love to tell you that I am a jaded world traveler who finds Disney World trite and blah blah blah, but I am not. Expedition Everest is my new favorite roller coaster. Not the fastest or biggest, but the most fun one I've ridden. The attention to detail is staggering. The imagineers spent serious time in Nepal and it shows. Artist Point is also my new favorite restaurant. Sci Fi Dine In is my second favorite restaurant.
Third, I've been dabbling in XNA game programming. I am a total sucker for games. I've been gaming since the Atari 2600.
Time to focus and get back to the MVC project.
I'm going to post a second update with thoughts on that project following this update (trying to keep them short).
