As noted previously, there are some major changes going on in my life right now. This is the third and final change.

This morning someone asked me how the WiX toolset got its name. It isn't a terribly long story so I thought I'd write it down quickly.

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

I have some philosophies about how to build software and setup for software that I've never posted here. So, I thought I'd share those philosophies today.

The Windows Installer Xml (WiX) toolset (pronounced "wicks toolset") appears to have finished propagating around the SourceForge.net CVS servers, so I can finally start writing this blog entry.

I just got back from a successful trip to San Francisco and I'm very glad to be home again. However, I really wish I could attend the Open Source Business Conference 2004 in downtown San Francisco. It'd be really interesting to listen to speakers address the issue I've highlighted from their introduction.

I was hoping to hold out just a bit longer on providing yet another "toolset update" but two different requests for update in my comments prompted me to post a quick note.
