Thank you, patient readers, for indulging my long absence.  I will be adding some new articles shortly, including nifty tricks you can teach Subsonic to do, more C# .NET Interop magic, more news from people with similar DNA, and perhaps some revelations on audio processing, IMVU and search engine strategies for your blog.

I was interested to see how people are finding this blog.  It appears to be a common practice for IT recruiters to google prospective developers.  Many people are finding this blog by my name "Chris Velazquez", as well as the misspelling "Chris Velasquez".  In fact, a google search on just "Velazquez" shows this web site in the top 100 results, despite the more obvious relevance of Spanish painter Diego Velazquez, congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, and the fact that Velazquez is quite a common name in the Spanish-speaking world.

There seems to be some interest in C# dictionary of delegates, an alternative to using a switch statement.  While this isn't an earth-shattering revelation, several programmers have picked up on this technique, and I am beginning to use it more frequently in certain parts of my own code.

As expected, many IE7 users want to use BugMeNot to bypass mandatory registration.  And also as expected, people are having problems trying to get MS Office and Excel to work seamlessly with their C# code.  Surprisingly, the image of my daughter holding balloon with static cling in her hair is becoming a hit on the search engines.

I'll be fertilizing this blog with my mental droppings shortly.  Stay tuned!
