Its been really slow up here lately and its been bugging me. The problem is, I’m generating a ton of content but most if it is for work. Things have been extremely busy and by the time I get home and open up Ecto to get a blog post done, I’m just tapped out.

The good thing is that I feel like I’m getting a lot of things done lately. We are on a really big documentation kick (or at least I am) on the wiki front these days and using the wiki even for basic project management, which is working out really good for us. There’s no better time to create technical documentation for something your working on than while your doing it, and having a documentation wiki winds up being really useful when you approach using it during a project rather than after the fact.

I’ve also been reading Working Effectively with Legacy Code by Michael Feathers. I found out about this book when we had Mr. Feathers come in and give a 3 day workshop on refactoring and test driven development, an area I’m really pushing my team to focus on this year. I’ve been doing a little coding these days and applying some of the techniques in this book and, for me, its made all the difference in the world. I definitely recommend the book highly.

So the bottom line is, I am producing a ton of content and feeling relatively productive these days, you just can’t see it on the blog right now. As the weather warms up and work lets up a bit in the next few weeks (or months), I hope to get back to regular postings - because even for me the daily bookmarks aren’t working.

I’ve been a tad stressed out, so I’m going to be taking a few days away from “computer stuff” (starting tomorrow). It’ll be kinda nice to not have a keyboard in front of me for a bit.
