Beginning in November, I will be working for SAPIEN Technologies as a Scripting Guru. I'll be spending a lot of time writing. There are plans for several new books through SAPIEN Press<\/a> that I'll be responsible for. I'll also be much more active in the forums at ScriptingAnswers.com <\/a>and other places around the Net. I'll be able to blog more frequently and basically spend a lot of time creating content that I hope you'll find interesting and useful. If there is a topic you'd like to learn more about, please drop me a line. My jhicks@jdhitsolutions.com email address will always be good. I'll publish a SAPIEN email address next month when I'm officially on board.<\/p>\n

I've also taken over the weekly TipSheet column for MCPMag.com. The current column is online at http:\/\/mcpmag.com\/columns\/article.asp?EditorialsID=1494.<\/a>
<\/span> The column comes out as part of a weekly email newsletter (MCPMag.com News) that you can subscribe to at http:\/\/info.101com.com\/default.aspx?id=22062
<\/a>
Finally, if you're going to be at Techmentor next week in Las Vegas, I hope you'll stop by and say hello. I'll be presenting Wed. and Thursday.
