Yeah things have been pretty static (dare I say stagnant) lately, but I’m back and happy to be writing again. 

The lapse is, in part, due to some big changes for me.  With WPF all but out the door, the team has been transitioning into V2 planning.  There are some exciting things on the horizon for WPF, but, for better or worse, I took this opportunity evaulate my career and found an incredible opportunity outside of Microsoft.

So, I’ve taken a job with IdentityMine.  It’s been awesome.  Working at Microsoft was amazing and moving on was a tough decision.  I loved the people I worked with and I loved the technology.  In fact, I may have loved the technology too much because that’s what drew me to IdentityMine.  I’ve really had a chance to pull out my inner design kung fu and create some neat stuff.  IdentityMine is a design/dev firm with a strong specialty in WPF.  This really is more in line with my passions these days, and it;s been an amazing place to do that.

Along those lines, we’ve really assembled an world-class team and word seems to be getting out because these days it seems like we nearly have more work than we can handle.  Because of that, we’re definitely looking for more great people.  It really is a fabulous company, so if you’re potentially interested please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

One last update: I’ve had lots of requests for an updated version of SplitView.  SplitView is a XamlPad-like tool that I’ve used in presentations from time to time.  It had some features that XamlPad has been conspicuously missing (like Find and Goto Line).  It didn’t, however, have many of the features that you would have come to expect from an editing tool like Save and Open.  Because of that, I really haven’t kept it up.  Instead, I’ve redirected my energy into a new tool called Kaxaml (read kuh-zamel).  IIt’s the best of SplitView meets the best of XamlPad meets the best of Notepad.  ‘ll have a beta up by the end of the week so stay tuned.
