Disruption to my publication-cycle...

As I was finishing up the previous post, and getting ready to start the next one (the next part of the DataConnectors module), I was also preparing for a major job-change, leaving one company for another, for the first time in nearly seven years, and only the second time in the last 22.

As a result of this change, my normal routine for writing these posts may be disrupted for a while, and I'm not sure how (or if) it will recover. I'll still be making an attempt to keep at least a few items in the blog's scheduled backlog, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to swing that just yet.

I've also reached a major design-decision point in DataConnectors, and I'm having to thrash through a lot of alternatives about how I want to implement things. In at least one major case, I'm also having to give a lot of thought to why a given implementation should be chosen.

So, if you're following my writing/coding, please bear with any disruptions to my publication schedule for at least a little while. I'm hoping that I'll be able to either resume my normal schedule, or come up with a new one over the next couple of weeks, but I simply don't know what that'll look like yet, and until I get through the current design contemplation, even if I have the time, I may not be able to produce much for a while.

Awkward timing, I guess... Such is the stuff that life in the glamorous world of software design and development is made of.

On the plus-side, though, by the time this post is published, I'll be just a two weeks away from a week-long break for the Christmas/New Year's holiday-week, and I definitely should be able to get more backlog going by then.

Stay tuned!
