And what did I do? Well, the last week I was in Cyprus enjoying a 'to my opinion' a well-deserved vacation with my three girls. I received news however that part I of my article series on Site Definitions with WSS 2003 will be published shortly on MSDN. I'll keep an eye on that one. This week I am in Belgium going to work very hard on the preparation of the Office 12 ascend trainings. Oh yes, the CAML girl has been busy too. I will publish today or tomorrow the new version of the CAML builder. A number of the bugs have been solved and she is also working on some new functionalities.
