Nonnenberg's Notes

Acknowledging the sad reality...

scottno — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:12:00 GMT

Hey everyone. You've probably noticed that I haven't posted on this blog in over a year. With new job responsibilies came a new set of priorities - and, to be honest, fewer interesting things I could post about.

So, this is a post to acknowledge the reality that this blog is done. There's a good chance that I'll come back with a few of my side coding projects and insight into the way Microsoft ships software (know what "shiproom" is?) - this time as a contributor on the VB and C# team blogs. Watch Charlie's blog for a pointer!

So long for now, and feel free to unsubscribe! :0) You can always reach me at scottno@microsoft.com.
