I'm having one of my 'I should have gone to work for Microsoft' moments...As you may
have read before, I had an interview a few years ago (is it really four years...damn!!!) 
and long story short, I didn't take the job. My problem at the moment is that what
I like doing (playing with new technologies, architectures etc...) is not the most
commercially vaible thing for my employer - doing the same old thing over and over
unfortunately is... I can't see any other employer who does fit my needs...so
I'm kind of stuck at an impasse right now... Well, I'll just keep on reading and writing
stuff in my own time, who knows, I may just start the next Microsoft! Oh, by
the way, excellent [utilities link](http://www.sliver.com/dotnet/index.aspx) -

not wanting to leave [Scotland](http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/uswallpaper/selection5.html)right
now won't help either!
