2006 has gone pretty damn fast but I've learnt a lot. Here are my highlights.
- In January, .coop had about 1.36 million pages indexed in Google (It's now 1.39 million) and the future of HTML looked exactly the same as it does now for ASP.NET developers, albeit with CSS Adapters finally appearing last month.
- In February, Warren Ellis and Joss Whedon forum-slapped each other. In a nice way.
- In April, Janey and I moved south from Birmingham where we had lived for eight years to Oxford, city of dreaming spires and the worst commuter traffic north of London.
- In May, Scott helped me out with some of my XmlSerializer problems in the upgrade from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0. (Parts 1, 2 and 3) when I wasn't running about trying to find a database connection or figuring out why SQL 2k5 SP1 doesn't like being run from an external hard disk.
- In August, Silverstone was my plaything.
- In September, I finally got test-driven development after peering hard at it for a long time - (Parts 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) - and also tried blogging every day. Alas, a good diarist I am not - I leave that to Michael Palin - and decided to leave the link lists to Jason Haley.
- In October, v8.0 of hmobius.com was finished at last.
- In December, I bought a house.
- Vista x64, Test Driven .NET 2.0, MbUnit 2.3, SQL 2005 SP1, VS 2005 SP1 and WMP11 were released too.
All in all, a good year. Here's to 2007.
