			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am very excited to announce the launch of the new and improved <a href="http://www.scharfholdings.com">Scharf Holdings, LLC website</a>. As part of my commitment with this company to assist medium sized businesses to obtain or develop enterprise level applications and software as a moonlighting project for the past 10 years, I&#8217;ve decided to take it mainstream with a limited capacity as I still have a full-time job which I intend to keep. As the need for more capacity arises I will be hiring as needed to fill customer demand with a continued commitment to quality.</p>
<p>Being my own customer in developing the new web site was challenging, especially since like most companies with real customers, my own needs typically come last. I&#8217;m happy to say that the site is complete.</p>

I have been in software development for the past 11 years, working mainly&nbsp;with Microsoft technologies including VB 6, C#, ASP.NET and more recently AJAX and if time and employer dollars allow, Silverlight. I&#39;ve been in IT for about 10 years now having served my time on numerous help desks, production support and R &amp; D teams. I am currently working for a home warranty company based out of Denver, CO migrating existing Windows Smart Client applications and back-office automation to the web, mobile space and beyond.
</p>
<p>
So what am I doing getting a blog so late in the game you might ask? Well, I&#39;m married. As odd of an answer that may seem to be, my 3 girls would tell you that I&#39;m just not cool and this is the first opportunity that I&#39;ve had amidst my wife studying for the LSATs and my honey-do list is empty that I can spend some quality time on the computer, which I already spend 60 hours a week on; go figure.
</p>
<p>
In the next week or so I plan on posting my first real entry regarding table locking and transactions while using LINQ to SQL against SQL Server 2000. In the meantime if you want to leave comments on how silly you think blogging is or if you won the lottery or even if you think 80&#39;s hair metal bands are the coolest ever, feel free! Also if you want to pose questions or suggestions on possible posts that may divulge my experience in any of the areas you&#39;re interested in or have questions please don&#39;t hesitate.
</p>
<p>
Thanks and happy blogging!</p>
