(This is a long blog post but each thought runs into each other).

Ok, I was a bit rash in my previous blog post. I got a pretty good suggestion from James that I could get stoned :-). Too late becaise I have already started with the medical aid broker as a non-smoker... and as a side note, I've never had a 'joint' despite all the temptations that I experienced for the last four years. I'm personally proud of it. So my plan was today (since I did not have any time to do a quick check up of my mail to see what suggestions came through since the post) was to load a web cast on to the Tablet PC (in future, it would be refered to as “Jabit”). Man, was I pissed when I found out while on the bus that I copied to the wrong web cast. And on top of that... I'm already bored with all of these web casts. Nothing interesting whatsoever. I don't think I will be doing any further public exercises with Jabit -- it just feels weird while on the bus, if you know what I mean.

While the Durban MVP gang and I went to Microsoft's headquarters, at the end of last month, I struck up a deal to swop one of my Refactoring Patterns for The Gang Of Four Patterns with Ernst Kuschke. I'm still waiting for his end of the bargain to be met -- I've got no thought provoking text on my shelf now. Nevermind dude, this post is just another of those reminders ;-).

Talking about text for the bus, I also just recently brought a year's subscription to MSDN magazine. I don't know what to really expect because I have only started getting “text books” and magazines in the last two months or so. Talking about the Microsoft camp out and magazines -- I, amongst the other South African MVP's, should be featured in the January's edition of TechNet.
