the Silent Week

No posts this week. Eriely silent?

This week I gave a presenation to a group of abotu 200 people about the direction I have my group moving in about web application development.

In the presentation I covered why these techniques were required, what gaps there were, how we were addressing the gaps currently, and where we were going in the future.

Technology wise I focused on .NET and Plumtree, but mentioned Websphere parallelism and tools like DataDynamics ActiveReports and Coalesys PanelBar and WebMenu.

The presentation went fairly well - I feel I handled the Q&A at the end very strongly.

I also like the fact that it helps me keep my team focused on realizing the goals we have set forth.

Additionally we have a big project thats a go, as well as 7 more to estimate formally.


Went to a AA ballgame last night - Jessica's boss had purchased a luxury box at the game to celebrate the 200th new home sale by his company. We had a great time.

My parents are coming to visit next weekend as well - should be a great time. Probably going to get them to King of Prussia mall, as well as out for Indian food for something different.
