Civility in critiquing the ideas of others is no vice. Rudeness in defending your own ideas is no virtue.

At least, that is how my wife puts it. (Whether that is optimistic or pessimistic on her part, I don't know.)

Yes, it is my 50th birthday, which is not one of those milestones you look forward to, but which honestly feels better than I expected. It has been a hard year, what with my father dying in July and the regular business sputtering some as I focused too heavily on specific projects, but I feel ready for the year ahead. A new version of CoexLinks came out recently, CoexEdit will be out any time now and the data migration business is slowly taking shape. I plan on some non-IBM projects coming out this year as well, but CoexEdit with XPages is the main focus for now, with lots of pent up interest.

By the way, I got an early birthday present yesterday when my son got a phone call from his chosen college, letting him know that he was accepted. None of us were expecting a phone call (as opposed to my daughter who learned through snail mail and my older son who learned through email), but it was wonderful knowing that he can go where his heart has belonged for over a year.

All in all, I'm looking forward to 50, and looking forward to sharing the year with all of you.
