I&#8217;ll be here all day trying to catch up on Channel 9 tasks and email. 131 waiting, better get to it.</p>
<p>Anyway, Georgeo Pulikkathara is the guy who runs MSDN Webcasts (he&#8217;s the one who hires my wife&#8217;s firm, if I remember right). <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnwebcasts/archive/2005/12/29/507982.aspx">On his blog he wrote</a> that he&#8217;s about to ship off to Afghanistan. It&#8217;s yet a reminder of the price we all are paying due to military actions overseas. I can&#8217;t imagine being forced to move overseas and leave my job and my family. Our wishes are with you Georgeo, come back safely!</p>
