For sometime now I have been threatening to start writing a blog, finally it would seem if this makes it online then I've done it. The truth is that I'm really not sure whether I'm going to get blog fever or if this will become one of those never to be updated weblogs. Time will tell.

In customary first blog entry here are a few notes about me, after that I guess I'll put up a bit of a bio page and if I get any hits on that I'll know my mum has been looking me up on Live Search!

I work in Microsoft Services in the UK in a team titled Application Development Consulting as an ADC (Application Development Consultant). My role as enables me to work with a host of great customers working with our development technologies.

As our team cover the entire Microsoft technology set we have the chance to specialize in areas of technology and at the moment my field is Team Foundation Server and the associated Visual Studio Team System client tools, I only mention this as it's likely that many of my posts may be around this area.

I've worked in my role for around 6 years now, prior to this I worked for 4 years in various roles in Microsoft working with customers in through our COM/COM+ and Visual C++ teams.

Right enough of the bio, on with the blog ....
