Life without a computer.

I got married last month (yeah, yeah, old news). One of the agreements I voluntarily struck with Jenny was that on November 1st, I'd put the computer(s) away. I would also change my password at work and not update my smartphone so that not even it would keep me connected to the electronic world.

Still getting settled in...

I'm still getting all of my stuff migrated from my old digs at http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen to here.

I started blogging three years ago when the MSDN blog site when it was still hosted on gotdotnet. Back then there were fifty or so Microsoft bloggers and people giggled when you said the word "blog". Now there are so many Microsoft blogs that nobody bothers to keep count any more.

In the last week there were three RSS feeds I follow that mentioned the new Restart Manager service in Windows Vista.
