After a rocky start, spent the day working at Bluehouse. During the day I met the guy who used to have my position at System Source six years ago. He's a nice fellow, and we talked shop for a while before he had to go.

Went back to the house around six and cranked out more architecture choices and documentation for my current project. I've got to make some tough choices now about what logical levels to put things at, and the organizational schemes I want to use so I don't mire myself in my own logistical feces by the end of the project.

If I don't have everything quite figured out by the end of the day tomorrow I'll have to move forward anyway to keep on schedule and trust the VS 05 refactoring tools to help me repair any bad naming choices a few weeks down the line. I have every belief that they are up to the task, having played with them pretty extensively a year ago.

Caught Amanda U. on Twitter and convinced her to meet me for a burger and fries at Red Robin. We would have picked the Five Guys at Waltham Woods shopping center, but sadly it hasn't been built yet. When it is I'll be the first in line. Caught up on a couple years of changes in our lives (hers somewhat more varied than mine). I enjoyed both the burger and fries and a nicely prepared margarita. My body is now busy incorporating a half pound of cow muscle proteins into my torn up leg muscles and not complaining too badly about it.

Got three meetings tomorrow and hopefully some time on the trail. Should be a fun day.

Also, a brief public service announcement: My house is messy, my calendar is haphazard and my e-mail box is up to 948 messages. When it hits 1,000 I'm going to tackle everything all at once and bring it back down to 0. Hopefully that'll be before I miss any appointments in May. If I promised to be somewhere or do something with you next month and you haven't heard from me lately, please send me a short e-mail to remind me.
