I had three weeks of quality time with my wife and kids. As I'm normally spending almost all of my time in front of my computer screen the SLA (Service Level Agreement) with the family required me to stay away from the computer and do some fun things with the family. And I did ... we did some camping and did rollercoaster rides in a few amusement parks. And what about ... all you can eat french fries and ice.

Well, that's behind us now.... and back to work.

The last months of the year will be a hell of a busy season! Here are some things on my to do list:

  • Assist in moving our corporate image from XP/Office 2003 to Vista/Office 2007
  • Finish our Orcas (Visual Studio 2008) TAP project
  • Attend Office 14 DAC meeting - Redmond USA
  • Attend TechEd Developers 2007 - Barcelona Spain
  • Write some articles for my blog
  • Write some articles for the dutch developer community (www.sdn.nl)
  • Answer forum questions helping the community with their VSTO issues
  • Extra workouts to remove weight from eating too much on vacation
  • ...

Before you know it it is already Christmas! I could use some extra hands here :-(
