haha, I hear ya Chris. I keep trying to find time to blog about something useful. I either don't have time, or the material I have just isn't ready yet.

I think next year I'm going to make sure I'll be at Derbycon. Heard wayyy too many good things about it to miss out on it twice.

Not sure if you'll be in Miami for Hacker Halted. If not, I'll definitely blog to let you know about all the sun you missed. :D
