Hook, line & sinker

I think the first week of being back from vacation is a pseudo-realistic experience: you wake up each morning thinking 'damn, i so wanna stay in bed', then you get up, go to work and somehow there's tons of stuff to do that wasn't there when you left. Then, as fast as you thought you'd like a couple of weeks more, the first couple of days go by and you're back in the net: hook, line & sinker. Right now i'm in the process of finalizing the, by far, biggest sitecore solution i've ever built. 100% XAML/Sheer UI based on a number of portals and -tons- of portlets, custom applications, controls, wizards, events, messages, workflows & pipelines (i won't even try to count the number of templates, masters and items). And you know what? i'm loving it. Working with the sitecore adaptation of xaml is damn cool and at times it's been keeping me up at nights (something i thought nothing anymore could ever get me to). It's built on 5.2, not 5.3, but as soon as 5.3 gets a final release i'd like to port it over 'cause i've noticed a lot of things in there that this solution could benefit from. Once the solution is live (and if i get the 'ok' from the captains) i'll post more on it. Although i haven't slept much this week, come end of next week i'm damn sure gonna make up for it (if there's still a hint of summer outside the walls that is). Take care, P.
