Whoa, I have a blog. I have not yet hired anyone to write updates for it, though, which is why I’m so slow.<\/p>\n
In the days since I’ve written anything of substance: we took a really interesting handicapping class at Canterbury, I went to the doctor and had a ton of blood drawn (more on that if they figure out what’s wrong with me),\u00a0we obtained our marriage license, we saw the Hangover 2<\/em> with Wendy and Amelia, I booked a limo for the wedding, we saw a ska band at a weird Wisconsin-like bar in the ‘North Loop’, I wrote two articles for InfoQ.com on SQL Denali upgrade paths<\/a> and scaling web apps on Windows Azure<\/a> (I know you love this stuff), we watched the Bruins win the Stanley Cup (HOORAY!), and played some tennis and went swimming and enjoyed the nice out-of-doors days in general. It’s finally summer, after all.<\/p>\n I also knocked the 30th item off my 101 Things list<\/a>, which was to rebuild 404lab.com<\/a> to increase ad revenue. I’ve owned that site for over 15 years now, and I think it’s only been redesigned once or twice before. It does well making me money on Google Adsense and other ads, but I know it can do better. So hooray! Migrating that database and putzing with CSS was a big project.<\/p>\n Also, we went to Milwaukee last weekend with Joe, Missy, Chris, and Meg.
