First drafts are done!

I wrapped up my first draft of 'Data Access with JDBC' last week and tonight I submitted 'Performance and Debugging' to WROX. Overall, I am pretty happy with the two chapters. I was able to apply what I learned while working on the application server development team at my current job and what I learned from developing, deploying, and supporting Roller. Writing the chapters was a hell of a lot of work and I really had to lock myself away from family and friends to get the job done, but it was also a lot of fun.

Tomorrow is my last day of work until January 6th and I have no big travel or vacation plans this Christmas. I bet WROX won't get back to me until after the new year and so I'll have lots of free time to spend with the trio of little tikes, hack around with Roller, and think about new directions for 2003.

I'm jealous! Oh well, only a few more days and I should be right behind you. Although that two weeks off sounds pretty sweet.

Damn, I'll be lucky to get two days off. And one of my chapters came back from the reviewers: looks like I've got a load of work ahead of me again!
