Back from Holidays and into Workflow (WF)
Since my last post we've had the Christmas holidays and I had a relaxing break. We also had a power outtage for four and a half days which was less relaxing. Today I'm catching up on some of the goings on around Windows Workflow Foundation with a link listing. If you too were away for the holidays this list may be of interest.

- I found this new community site WDevs.com that's planning a look at WF in 2007.

Okay, now you're all up to date. While I've been writing this the puddles of water in the garden out my office window have got about twice as much water in them. It's been raining all day after a fine weekend.
