Its been more than one week since I last wrote to thee – do not be angry, I have a really good excuse. First of all my laptop died, and  I’ve also been preoccupied with some BizTalk work which I’ve found particularly facinating, unfortunately I can’t really say more than that – what a tease!

With the laptop, the connector at the back of the laptop that I plug the AC power adapter into looks like it has broken away from the motherboard. This means that I can power it up as long as I have battery power – just enough time to get some critical files off. During the course of the week I had a couple of opportunities to charge the battery up on a docking station but I really have to concerve the power just in case.

I’ve taken this opportunity to get a new laptop since mine was due for a referesh anyway, it’ll just take a little while to arrive, even though its pegged for urgent delivery. In the meantime I have to timeshare on my wife’s computer or use machines at client sites.

I’m looking forward to catching up with some posting about topics of interest over the course of the next couple of days - so stay tuned!
