  Geaux LSU Tigers
I've become a real fan for the LSU lady Tigers despide what happened with Pokie Chatman. They're just so good, so fast and so accurate. Back to the final 4 again for 2007! Big congrats and alot of pride over here. I can remember 2 years back being in Panama City Beach cheering for the girls while they were playing in the tourney.

Programming Microsoft .NET AND VBScript

I've been working with C# based ASP.NET pages and classical VBScript powered pages for the last month+ now. A very wild difference between the two in what you can do. The usability for the .NET 2.0 stuff seems almost unlimited. I can't imagine life before it even though I could accomplish anything quickly with a PERL/PHP cocktail.

.NET 2.0 is just so easy and stylish all at the same time. You set up a quick theme and establish useful pages with little or no real effort. I love it.

I wrote a quick C# Programming book review about one of my favorite books from Wrox so far.

  Saint Patrick's Day
Checked out the Baton Rouge St. Patty's day celebration today. Was an absolute blast and it seems to get better and better every year. It's a far better parade and party than anything else around here.(other than maybe LSU tailgating)

  Back to projects
The first part of 2007 has been swift to say the least. Job hunting madness has kept me so busy that it's over before I could blink. Things are cooling down and I'm getting used to my position at BCBS so it's back to the projects I've been neglecting.

I brought some tools I left at my dad's home and started evaluating what I have to order to work on my Mustang project. I'm going to have Thursday evenings as Mustang day until I have my Cowl and Floor panels replaced on my car. After that I can start going back together with the car. Exciting.

Brewing beer. Yes I said I'm going to start brewing beer for fun. There is a home brew store in Baton Rouge called Bootleggers and I'm going to go get some new toys.(like I don't have enough toys.)

I'm going to buy UFC 69 tickets when I get done with this post.

Hope everyone else is having a good start to 2007. Mine's been interesting but it's getting easier.

  LSU Basketball = Going to hell
Man has this been a disappointing season for the men? Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. An obvious lack of a real leader on this team and a ball handler. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. They just can't win!

Chatman resigns today. You want to talk about a stunned Tiger fan over here. I have never been a women's sports fan until Pokey showed up. Even under the previous coach I didn't but into it but this new womens team is so fresh on every level all the way up to the coach. No word on why she's out yet but I'm very sad that she's going away.
 
  Could Microsoft Make Programming Any Easier?
Now that I've basically got the hang of the syntax and basic programming methods used with Visual Studio I'm astonished at how easy it is to create rich interactive programs. It's almost like you can't fail or get hung up for longer than a few minutes.

All this coming off of my second week of working with the application on a real world solution involving alot of different entities. I couldn't imagine being able to put something together so fast and efficiently using Perl, PHP, Javascript, C or anything else I've touched in the last 3 years.

It's truly a great thing and I'm really excited about all I'll have an opportunity to learn for developing on the .NET platform.
