    Wednesday, January 28, 2004
    Every week, Eric Gunnerson, Dan Fernandez and I get together to work on the C# developer center and other C#-ish topics... and last week we divided up some tasks amongst the three of us. Well, we are meeting again today and I don't have those tasks done... so I'm starting to watch my back.
