How does Jeff Atwood update so often?

It’s been a little quiet around here the last few weeks. Partly because preparing the javascript talk for Barry’s user group made me need a little rest from javascript and partly because I’ve been on holiday in Australia (home) enjoying the sun.

The best thing to happen while I was away was the ASP.NET guys announcing they’re going to ship JQuery with the ASP.NET AJAX framework. I’m pleasantly surprised. I think it’s a good match. I’m glad that I won’t need to convince anyone now to use JQuery with ASP.NET.

Other exciting news is my talk’s been picked for DDD7. I’m going to be doing a talk called Bleeding Edge of Web where I talk about some of the new exciting browser stuff like CSS3, canvas, querySelector and media queries. Hopefully all that content will eventually make it up on the blog (if I can finish all this javascript stuff). A big thanks to Dave for getting all his friends at work to vote for me. :)

I’ve been trying to take Jeff Atwood’s advice to pick a posting schedule and stick to it, but posting something meaty every week was really killing me. I honestly have no idea how he posts so often and still has time to find the fun pictures he puts with his posts. I think I’m going to try every other week for a while and maybe see if I can find something nice and light to post in between. I know you good people of the internets have enough to read already without me wittering on all the time.

I’ve no shortage of fun stuff to post about. I’m learning about JQuery at work and NHibernate at home and preparing for my talk and I’ve got pages and pages of notes about the javascript stuff I want to write up plus articles that have been sitting in my system for months waiting to be finished.<

Apologies for the brain dump. Real content (hopefully) to follow soon. :)
