My apologies for being away – things have been rather hectic. Anyway, today marks a new evolution to the site. I’ve cleaned up the site and now have set up the capability to show code, which has been one of the things keeping me from posting. Now that that is set up, I’ll be catching [… Read More]
So today marked the culimnation of my first webinar production experience. Over a week of preping off and on for a 45 minute conference (of which my part was about 15 mintues) sure made for a fun time.
