You could say I've been a little busy recently. Last minute wedding planning is hectic, and on top of that there has been the nightmare which is porting out code on an Infineon chip, with the deadline being the day of the wedding. I've spent the last week frantically working on the port whilst trying to get knowledge into other people's heads (of course those two tasks are mutually exclusive). I've also managed to have a stag day and meet other people for drinks in the week, whilst rapidly copying as much music onto the iPod Vicky for me as an early wedding present. All in all I can't wait for 12 days of lazing in Italy!

So, as of this morning I'm official on annual leave until 2^nd August, and won't be reading emails at all from the 17^th. If you really want to contact me I can only suggest purchasing a wedding present from our gift list and adding the message there. Gift list notifications are always read. ;)

Microsoft have a technology preview of their new MSN search engine. The litmus test is, of course, searching for "ross burton".

The good news: top hit is the root of my blog. However, so are the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th... In fact all but five of the results in the first five pages are from my site, and those others are all pages from the Burton (the snowboarding people) web site. Amusingly, they have shown me the index pages from every day I've blogged on.

Why not see for yourself how well Google searches for "Ross Burton", compared to Microsoft's new engine. Thank you Google for More results from www.burtonini.com!
