Public Service Announcement: RSS Feeds

Just wanted you to know that I am aware that something is awry with the RSS feed, and I am investigating what to do about. Of course, if you are reading this, you are probably right on the blog itself right now, and you may have no idea what I am talking about. On the other hand, if you are one of the RSS subscribers (AnthonyB, I am looking at you, and perhaps 2ndSoprano, mom3gram, and Professor K.), you aren't seeing this announcement. Which is ironic, since you are my intended audience here.

So as you were. Hopfully I'll get this fixed. I'd hate to have to set that all up again, and ask you to do likewise.

Wow, Why is Aw2pp so busy?

I promised you earlier in the year that December would be slow for me. That I would have lots of time to practice. And post lots of thoughtful, interesting and insightful things here. I’m 0 for 3 on those predictions. Work, which is usually really slow for folks in my position (pre-sales) has been as busy as ever. I’m lucky to get 20 minutes on the piano in a day. And frankly, I’m not happy with the meager amounts of bloggy goodness I’m posting here these days.

What up with all that?

Well, as I have admitted before, I get a lot of good blog work done on the train. Our new house (I mentioned we built and moved into a new house, right?) is 41 miles west of Chicago. The train trip takes about an hour 20 each way. I am, at this very moment in fact, on the train, thankful not be driving in some seriously bad wintry weather. But I have not been on the train much lately. Instead, I’ve either been working from home*, or driving to visit angry customers who purchased software that doesn’t seem to be working. And periodically driving to other customers, trying to sell some last minute software. (WebSphere Stocking Stuffers!)

* - No, really, when I work from home, I actually do work.

Maybe January will be slower.
