Sorry about the countdown to the " " (nothing) from yesterday. 
There was something, I got to see my girlfriend again, after being separated
for a week.  That was tough.  We were busy yesterday when we finally got
home. 

Had the first day of my Microsoft .NET developer
course.  It seems nice in many ways, and contrary to the other times SoftAdvice
has run that course they start us out with
C# instead of the
usual Visual Basic stuff.  Very
good! 

C# looks quite Java like, and
is a nice programming language in itself, and the .NET framework is in
my opinion the first time in many many years that Microsoft has actually
been innovative, but they build a lot on the thinking that went into Java. 
My greatest problem is that the editor in Visual Studio is absolutely
terrible, at least for someone like me, spoiled by the incredible sweetness
of the VIM editor.  I'll look into using VIM with
Visual Studio soon.
