  • The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence

    I was at Starbucks for a decent part of the evening tonight, doing what I had hoped to be the last of my famous JPCRs (Java-Powered Code Review) for GenX.NET 3.0. Fortunately, I was wrong, it will not be my last review for this release. I say fortunately, tho I have been up for the past 6 hours making changes to the entire architecture AGAIN, because it is definitely for the better.

Paul is a close, personal friend of mine, and I'm glad he's taking the leap into the world of blogging.
