I got this from one of the chain mail gang..OK Bill, I am sharing it
A scene you will probably never get to see, so take a moment and
enjoy.This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest
point.And, you also see the sun below the moon.
An amazing photo and not one easily duplicated. You may want to pass
it on to others.The Chinese have a saying that goes something like this:
"When someone shares with you something of value, you have an
obligation to share it with others!"

I just got an email from Sunil who I met at MIX07. He thought that he recongized me from the Scott Gu, MVC presentation at ALT.NET in Austin.
Well yes that was me sitting up with the Gu. It was a packed session at ALT.NET and the crowd was very pleased with what they saw. I was quite surprised as Scott Hanselman held a small camera for most of the presentation.
It amazes how much I was able to get involved in this past year:
- MIX07
- A number of Code Camps and User Group Presentations. NYC, Boston, Philly, Westchester
- JP's Training Class - Nothing But DotNet Training class
- Meeting Rob Conery in Kauaui
- DEVconnections and presenting at OpenForce
- Completing a 1 YR consulting Project and leaving with highly satisfied users
- Starting a new project with the goal of introducing, CI, TDD, DDD, and..MVC!

It is one week into a new assignment and things are starting to get interesting! I have been able to port a good portion of the web application to a DNN system and I am starting on the meaty part of the application.

Today marks my last commute crossing the hudson river via the tappan zee bridge.
The assignment to build an internal reporting application for a major vwireless carrier has been a great success, this is of course according to the manager and users of the new system! To me there is more refactoring and additional features to be added. There was plenty more tinkering to be done...
I leave the application in the trusty hands of Bharti, who was a bright spot of the project the past few months since she joined the team. It has been great to have someone to challenge my design and approach for building solutions. It was the closest to pair programming that I have come and I liked it.
The manager of the team created a supportive environment and he made every effort to give me the tools to create a successful project. Thanks Gus! I know Nick and Karin will keep those employee recognition lunches going. I will miss the people and great atmosphere.
The DotNetNuke...

We are half way through the DevConnections and OpenForce Conference. Rob and I just finished our presentation on using SubSonic and DotnNetNuke. The audience had some good questions and people certainly are interested in other Data Access Layers for DotNetNuke

I am very pleased to have been able to attend the inaugural AL.NET Conference held this weekend in Austin Texas. I was able to meet a lot of people who have been helping me indirectly through their blogs over the past year or so.

Rob Conery will have a busy morning in November... he is on a panel for the first session of the day, and then is up with me for the Using SubSonic with DNN talk. The full OpenForce schedule is published here.
The SubSonic talk is scheduled for Wednesday, so people should be starting to get burned out  .
p.s. I just saw Scott Gu present on the MVC framework at the ALT.NET conference. I was real suprised how the whole crowd was head over heels for it...Not a single gripe, It shows what a great job that the ASP.NET team has done in listening to the community...But just give Scott B a few days...

There are a few set-up steps that are required to create a class library and seperate DLL for a SubSonic Data Access Layer. To help avoid these repetitive steps I have created a Visual Studio 2005 project that can be re-used.
