Since I just posted that last comment, and saw his name at the bottom of my blog in the development credits, I thought I'd just mention that I got to meet
Phil Haack at the ALT .NET conference this morning, right after the session discussing the challenges of software engineering.
We spoke briefly about the suitability of our names -- how he can't help but be a hack, and how all the men on my dad's side of the family are opinionated.
Nice guy. Oh... and the technical discussion preceding it was good too. I need some time to wrap my head around that one, however, before I post anything about it.
