Man, the work.  Seems like I've been busting my rear the last two weeks with just enough time to eat and sleep.  Part of the work was meeting with an integration partner in Santa Barbara, CA.  I've never been there before and man it was beautiful.  The mountains, ocean, and weather was really great.  We were able to get some solid work done but I've come home with even more work and a shorter deadline that what I was expecting.  It's a challenge but that's a good thing.

Anywho, flying back and forth gave me an opportunity to read the white paper Refactoring to Patterns which the book Refactoring to Patterns is based on.  It is very good and if you have the means, I highly recommend picking it up*.  Lots of good code samples and gives you things to look out for when you are refactoring.  He also touches on being cautious of over using patterns.  Since its not the complete book its a quicker read too.  I'm sure the book goes into much greater detail so it's now on my watch list.

*10 pts (??) for the movie that I'm trying to quote here w/o googling.
