I know, I know...

Yes it has been a while since my last blog, but you know what its like. Working on a lot of things both in work and out at the moment. It's not long since I moved house, so I am busy working on that getting it up to scratch. I have had to postpone development on the dotnetdiary site for a while. In work I am still working on adding metadata to resources stored in SQL Server. It is a bit of a nightmare because I have to extract resources from many places add the meta data using RDNLTSN Application Profile and then combine the data in to SQL Server. I then have to pump out OAI compliant XML to the web. I am also writing a piece on MathML for one of our publications, so I am busy researching that, as well as attending college ( I am finally doing a Masters in Computing). Oh what else, oh yeah a couple of book reviews. And eating, drinking and basically having a life.

Sorry for going on so much. I realised I haven't exactly explained what it is I do. Basically I am an Astrophysicist working as a web developer/programmer for a University physical sciences department whose main technologies are .Net. I get involved with asp.net, vb.net, SQL Server, Windows 2003 Server, XML and some other technologies.
