Time to update the ol’ blog

It’s not like I don’t have a plethora of perfectly valid excuses for not writing in my blog. It’s just not something that comes easily or naturally to me. But since I’ve updated a few things on my server (including the software that powers this blog), I might as well at least post something to make sure ye ol’ blog is working as it should.

In other news, it’s been a very crazy spring. I’ve been doing entirely too much travel for work, and I’m a bit road weary. I thoroughly enjoy what I do (and love interacting with open source enthusiasts all around the world!), but it takes me away from my family too much. And when I finally roll into bed at yet another hotel after a long day of teaching class or speaking at conferences, the last thing I feel like doing is tooting my own horn on my blog.

OK, time to stop complaining! Here’s to a happy (and hopefully less stressful) summer!
