For the past several months I have been a bit distracted and I have not made this blog a priority. There are several reasons for that:

I doubled the number of children living in my house when I did so (we have 6 between the two of us) .
I got swamped by […]
Unless you have been under a rock (hiding from the depressing economic news, no doubt), then you know that the industry is buzzing with interest around Cloud Computing.

Presentation: SOA Adoption Planning (1-hour seminar I delivered in February)
