# I've been slacking off

Yeah. I do need to get more serious about wrting to the blog. Lately I feel I've been mostly “hanging on” rather than charging forward with the tech vengeance I had. I've been so tied up with the new job, that I can't find the time to both write sincerely and keep my life in order.

Hopefully the coming weeks will clear up a bit. I am working on a review of [CodeSmart.Net](http://www.axtools.com/) and an article on WMI & DirectoryServices in .Net, both should be out in the coming weeks. I'll try to lurk less and do more.
