Looking for a new Newsletter

So in case you read (or didn't read) the last issue of Developer Update, Penton the publishers of Windows IT Pro and SQL Server Magazine have decided to end my columns. The result is the end of the Developer Update newsletter (previously Developer .NET Update) which I've been writing for about 6 years.

In short they recently purchased MSD2D and can produce a different newsletter with a different author that they don't have to pay for material. More specifically if you noticed there were two previous newsletters (off schedule releases) which used materials from the MSD2D site instead of a fresh column. Here is a link to one of the new author's columns, which from what I can tell warns against migrating using the latest technology: http://list.msd2d.com/dm?id=E9C963B072B47DEDCA93E59D48ECE16A. As for me... well I'll either find a new paying gig (I'm planning on doing some articles for SQL Server magazine.) or I'll just post the equivalent of an article every now and then on my blog.

Just a quick link to my most recent article for SQL Server Magazine. This one is a hands on feature that looks at some of the new features coming with Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. It basically touches on 3 primary topics: MARS, the new Transactions namespace and creating a custom data type using the CLR. You can find it on the SQL Server magazine site at:
