I have updated my blog with a simple feed showing the latest entries on my Twitter feed. There's also a simple 'Follow Me' link so feel free to add me to get all the latest....er....random thoughts from my head! I would like to update the design used on my site but I haven't the time lately and the current BlogEngine ones are so boring (apart from this one obviously!). If anyone knows where to get new Blog Engine designs please let me know.

I've been busy in work the last week working on the new Ballygarvan Stone Craft online store that will be launching very soon. This store builds on our tech from our previous store releases and adds in some nice new features that we're all looking forward to playing with once done.

I am putting the finishing touches to two brand new servers that we ordered for a huge project we are working on for the next few months. These servers are running Microsoft's 64bit versions of Windows Server 08 and SQL Server 08 software so I'm looking forward to getting stuck into this and messing around with all the new IIS 7 features. Currently this new project is under wraps but when it launches it is going to be plugged into one of Ireland's largest websites so we expect huge traffic from day one. Sorry for being such a tease about this but NDA's are signed so can't say much else at this point.

I have also been messing around with Linq To XML for this new project. I have found a lot of sites explaining Linq To XML but when it came to actually writing the code to create some real world XML it was difficult to find good examples so I will post up some tutorials over the next few weeks on how to read and write XML for real world projects using Linq.

So all in all it's been an exciting few weeks in work with new projects and looks like things are going to get even better in the coming weeks!
