Bump

Got a progress report?

It's sitting on my computer.

I've got it sitting on my website in the meantime (it's a rather large file for the bandwidth-impaired). Just follow the signature link.

Bump!:)?

It's in a file on my desktop.

So here's the deal, if you're really interested in what's going on in my world (I'm sure most don't, but I figure I'd explain it since a lot of people put work into this).

At the moment, I'm writing a programming book that will be released probably 1Q2005, and its deadline is 9/1. At the same time I'm re-writing the forums, much of it from scratch. The two projects are both related to the forthcoming release of the next version of ASP.NET.

As you may know if you've been around here for a few years, the forum software is the core foundation for much of the site in terms of membership, track records, content management, etc. The site is due for an overhaul, as the code has gone mostly unchanged for a year and a half. However, I need to get that core finished first.

What that all amounts to is that I don't want to write anything new, even if it is simple, because I don't want to rewrite it in a few months. So I'm not blowing it off, I just want to wait until the time is right.

Thats cool. I'm actually happier to hear that you're updating stuff that needs updated first, progress is a good thing! And I promise as soon as I get my first pay day I'll be sending in my $20 for my renewal, Jeff!:)
