Mostly Finished Huge Project -- Hopefully Posting More
I hope to find a few minutes to start making some more posts for now on, at least more than last month anyhow. I've just finished my 4th month being independent and I've just finished (more or less) a huge project. I like forward to posting lots of things I learned and encountered, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I wanted to say thanks to everyone that continues to contribute to the WilsonORMapper. While I take all updates and "mold" them to my liking, its obvious many people have been indispensable. Allan Ritchie basically contributed to almost everything in v3.0 -- it would not exist without him. Likewise, Ken Muse served the same role a few months back in helping me with v2.0. That's not to say that I just take their code, since they probably wonder what I've done when they see it. :) But it goes without saying that both their code and our many discussions have been indispensable. Gerrod Thomas has also been invaluable in tracking down and fixing the tough bugs. Jerry Shea finds and fixes really esoteric oddities that no one else finds. :) And Paul Welter is teaching me about better documentation, exception handling, and now CodeSmith. Anyhow, while I'm still busy, I do look forward to making more posts about my experiences. On a personal note, we believe we have sold our house (it hasn't closed yet), and our new one is less than two months away. Also, the kids have started back to school in 1st grade -- so now I can actually "work" at home!
