I thought it was time to give a quick update. I'm in Seattle now, I have lots of great meetings planned with Microsoft. I can't yet tell what all are about, but we're planning some great stuff for DotNetJunkies. I'm here until the 21st so if you're here we're having a couple different social outings, let me know.

I updated a bunch of bug fixes today - I have a bunch more I'm going to upload tomorrow including the new weblog build which I wasn't able to get up this weekend. Also, I'll be putting up our first new article since the launch which is a wonderful article writing by Dimitrios Markatos called: High-Performance .NET Application Development & Architecture. It is awesome!

Well, I have a bunch of other updates to give, but no time. I'm off to a "night-cap" meeting. More tomorrow! 

Also, I'm working with all the publishers right now to get out a lot of new sample chapters of .NET books. I'll be releasing at least one a week. Here is the first: http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/DotNetBooks/OnlineChapters/AWL/0672323435/
