I must be getting some hits on this site according to my referrals, but I am sure it could be a ton more if I posted more. So, why haven't I been posting the tips of the day?

Well, they are going to be starting up again soon. I had to deliver 2 projects suddenly, and pretty much all my waking hours were dedicated to actual work which brings in cold-hard cash. So now I am officially down from 3 active projects to one full-time project, so I should have some time to make some postings.

In that time, I have created a SOAP-based web service using DIME attachments, encryption and compression, used a horrible product called Syncfusion for Excel manipulation, developed invoicing PDF generation using DynamicPDF, written a Windows service, written a Windows application, developed to “rough stuff” inner workings of 2 ASP.Net web sites, and put some enhancements on a VB6 program I originally developed 8 years ago (in VB4 originally -- talk about longevity!). Been a busy year so far!

I also won a fairly large poker tournament in a local casino, and have a shot for a satellite seat for the World Series of Poker.

But things are starting to slow down a bit, so start looking for more tips of the day for things I have learned since the year began!
