I've finally moved into the 21st century of programming. Yes, it's taking me quite a while but I've arrived. I created, with tons of help, my first ASP.NET application using C# AND I mostly understand how it works. :-)

This application selects a list of items from our web database, reads a few different directories on one of the network drives to check for a matching image, and generates several reports based on the results.

Even though I did need a lot of help to create this application I was still very exciting to be in the drivers seat with the Programmer's Ed instructor by my side. I'm really looking forward to more projects in .NET.

My company's After the Holidays Party was this past weekend. I received my five year service award. This was a huge achievement. It was a milestone I desired to accomplish. So, I've made it!

"Now what?", you may ask. I hope to enjoy another five years there. It is a good company to work for and there are good people there. Things get crazy sometimes, actually most of the time but that's what keeps it interesting.
