It seems the early morning shift on Saturday is the only time that I can find to write on here any more.  I still have time to comment on other people's blogs, but that doesn't require me to come up with the topic to write on.  It's really hard coming up with new topics when Caden is cruising by trying to either pull the cord out of the back of the laptop or bend the screen back so he can see what I am doing.

We have 3 birthday parties to go to this weekend, I am getting an early jump on the annual holiday weight gain.  Actually, I don't gain much weight, if any, during this time of the year.  I am usually too busy in the kitchen to take time to partake of all the goodies.  Working from home this year might be a little different, but I really don't think so.

I do need to take some time this weekend to work on the Lotusphere presentation.  John and I have set a deadline for Wednesday to finalize our outline and determine what exactly we want to cover.  I was waiting for the session list to be published before finalizing our topics.  It seems that while there are a couple of other sessions concerning blogging, ours is the only one to be looking deep into the inner workings of the Domino Blog template.  That has definitely ratcheted up the anxiety level and is making me want to do even better.

I also need to take a look at my OpenNTF apps and see where I can extend them.  I have been thinking about a way to extend the ASND Export Facility to the web, but I got to come up with a clean, fast, scalable way to sort a document collection.  Following the good advice of Wild Bill, I am not going to start coding anything until I have it architected correctly in my head.  Once that piece is done, I will be able to sort the results without relying on Excel.  It will allow me to expand the functionality for the other export formats that are supported.  I also have a couple of other simple apps and one monster application that I want to get out in the open before Lotusphere.
