OK, so I've tweaked the blog skin a little (added a couple things to the side bar), and I'm getting used to it. I also downloaded this from the CS site. It lets me type code into my posts and it highlights it for me. For example:
[code language="VB.NET"]' VBDim myString as String = "Hello world"[/code]
[code language="C#"]// C#string myString = "Hello world";[/code]
[code language="T-SQL"]-- SQLselect 'Hello world'[/code]
[code language="ASP/ASP.NET"]<%' ASP.NET %><...

I just upgraded to Community Server 2.0. It was pretty smooth.
It's slick. I haven't found a skin I like yet, so I'm using the default. Maybe someday I'll get around to changing that. Bear with me. ;)

OK, I can finally start telling people what I've been keeping secret.
Kelly and I are going to have a baby!!!
A few weeks ago, we had our first ultrasound. That was amazing! The baby was less than 3/4" long at the time, but its heart was already beating (I could see it beating 3 times per second, but we couldn't hear it), and it was already moving around. Apparently it sleeps for about 23 hours a day (lucky!), but it must have got disturbed during the ultrasound because ...

If you think back, you may remember that I blogged about a being a technical reviewer for an upcoming O'Reilly book. Well the book has just been published, and I got a copy in the mail today. In the O'Reilly tradition, it has an animal on the front cover -- a catfish.
If anyone buys a copy, I'd be happy to sign it for you.

Tonight, Kelly and I are going to Chicago to see the Blue Man Group. We're going to the 10PM show, so we're staying the night (at a nice 4 star joint thanks to Priceline).
Her birthday was yesterday and this was part of her present. I think I might enjoy it as much as her, though!

Now that VB8 has been out for a few months, and I'm using it as much as I use VB6 (mostly on VB7), I've finally found an answer to a problem that has bugged me forever. OK, well, not forever, but for a long time.
Has anyone ever noticed that the scroll wheel on your mouse doesn't work correctly in VB6? A coworker sent me a link today that tells you how to fix that.
So, in case I'm not the only person to not know that such a fix exists (because I never bothered to search), here you ...

Something that every business should do. Imagine how good it would feel to be a customer for a company who thinks you're they're favorite. And from the other side, imagine what it would be like to only work with people who are your favorites?
