blog-discipline
It’s a been a rough couple of weeks – I’ve been shepherding a moderate severity security release to ship within the Windows organization [its not the Internet Explorer security issue so lay off] and I’ve had occasional moments with burn out potential. And in terms of my life other than work: well let’s just say things have been suffering.
Well, bottom-line is that when these things happen, my blog takes a hit. I stop to blog apropos of nothing as far as my blogging audience – meager as it is - is concerned. As I was pondering this unfortunate state of affairs, I hit upon a brand new word: blog-discipline.
Main Entry: 1blog-dis·ci·pline
Pronunciation: blaug'di-s&-pl&n

Etymology: Internet English, derive from plain old ‘discipline’ of Middle English from Old French & Latin; Old French, from Latin disciplina teaching, learning, from discipulus pupil
1 : The ability to keep blogging when everything happening around you screams that you don’t have enough time because its not your main job anyway…
2 obsolete : The spanking you get when you don’t blog and it IS part of your job description.
While you’re here you should check out Dan Crevier’s blog. He has a post up about programming Outlook 2003 in C#. I think I might take advantage of that and write some add-ins when I have the time. A channel 9 interview of Fabio Pettinati and I yammering on about all the cool things we’re doing on the Communications User Experience team should be showing up sometime soon. Stay tuned.
