Going dark [MSDN blogging platform being upgraded - NO new posts or comments next week]
The administrators of the MSDN blogging platform are performing a software upgrade and will be putting all blogs into read-only mode on Sunday, May 16th. New posts and new comments will not be possible for this blog during the transition. The upgrade is expected to finish by Monday, May 24th - but difficulties during the migration could push that date back. I'll post a quick note once the dust has settled and things are back to normal.
In the meantime, you should be able to contact me using the old platform's email form. Alternatively, I can be reached on Twitter as @DavidAns.
Thank you for your patience - see you on the other side!
