so much to do, so little time...

confluence of several things this week and i'm falling behind!

first, i got a small personal 'win' this past week when i successfully built a simple text indexing and search pattern for SDS. nothing fancy or earth-shattering, but very useful. i posted a quick (slightly incoherent) note on it in my blog this week, but have a more complete article outlined and started. just haven't had the time to complete it [bummer].

second, i've been building another sample web site using SDS as the backing store. in this one, i also used the FriendFeed API extensively including as the authentication service. it uses the common short-message model - but with a twist. anyway, the site is working (HTML-only), but needs JS/CSS treatments. again, it's a cool demo, but i'm struggling to find time to dress it up [dangit].

third, i've been working on another set of examples using Azure Table Storage and Topic Maps. again, lots of progress, but squeezed on time. gotta keep banging away on this stuff!

finally, to make it all just plain nasty, our broadband connection here at my home office is down! yipes! and this on a holiday weekend in the states! will be spending more time at the office, i guess.

so i've got great things going. i just need another day in the week to be able to get it all flying.
