Yep, I too have joined the ranks of the nice folks here at CodeBetter.Com. Not much to say, as everyone knows why some of us have moved over here. The biggest thing I'm looking forward to is the clean, no-nonsense (except for Geoff sometimes haha), uncluttered main feed. DNJ, Asp.net and a few other large weblog communities are just SO VERY OVERWHELMINGLY full of stuff you have to wade through before you can find interesting technical stuff to read, and you see posts about the same topic a dozen times (yes, we all know enterprise library was released, can we quit blogging about it now?). We are all guilty of that, and CodeBetter.Com has a policy to not polute the main feed with personal posts and off topic posts, so I'm looking forward to it. Expect everything on the main feed of CodeBetter.com, with the exception of these initial "I'm here now" posts, to be informative and useful.

Also, I've been working on a new random string/password generator. The super-simple, original password generators (proviced in VB.Net, C# and T-Sql) can be found at http://codebetter.com/blogs/raymond.lewallen/archive/2005/01/13/43938.aspx. In the next few days I will post new code that has configurable options and uses the RNGCryptoServiceProvider for more "randomness". This has been a very popular post with thousands and thousands of hits, so obviously people are out there looking for this kind of thing. So stay tuned, the new and improved random password generators are coming soon!
