Holy cripes, over the weekend my blog turned three years old! This whole mess started back on July 2nd, 2003, when I posted the following immortal words:
Ok, so I decided to jump onto the "blog bandwagon" and create my own blog. I am such a tool.
I feel so old. It really is amazing how fast time seems to pass by.....
Anywho, some exciting news - I've got a cool interview with Patrick Chu, found of ItsYourTurn.com, that I'll be posting here sometime in the next week or so. ItsYourTurn.com is a turn-by-turn game site that I've lost untold hours at over the years playing (primarily) chess and Stack4x4. ItsYourTurn.com is powered by the “Microsoft stack” (custom ISAPI, ASP.NET 2.0, SQL Server, etc.) and has a fair share of load - ~700,000 game moves every day and a database with over 470 million records. The interview has some great technical tidbits and advice along with a view from the inside of a small company (two full-time programmers and a part-time support staff member).
