Pair Programming Presented
Over the last few months, I have presented a session on Pair Programming to two User Groups (WinProTeam Rockville and PA FoxPro) and one Code Camp (Richmond this last weekend). I especially enjoy presenting this topic for a number of reasons:

I will be presenting on two topics at the Richmond Code Camp on 4/22/2006. The event starts at 8:30AM and runs all day. If you have never been to a Code Camp before, you are missing out. They are a great place to ask questions and find out about technology from your local community.

Feeling your users pain (and release notes for Secret Server 1.1)
It is a wonderful feeling to ship software - it has been a long hard slog to get this round of features complete. Especially while juggling our developers across various projects and client work. This is also a welcome release as we get to use all the new features in our own company Secret Server instance.

Secret Server 1.1 is out ... go and get it!
I haven't blogged in a few weeks but I have a few good reasons. Client projects with tight deadlines, the final push for our second big release of Thycotic Secret Server and also holding back on the irresistable urge to talk about features that aren't released yet (not much of a marketing person, huh?). We have listened to feedback and added several features as requested by users. One of the biggest new features - new support for Microsoft Access - which means that you DO NOT have to use Microsoft SQL Server to use Thycotic Secret Server anymore! We also have a new built-in import tool that accepts CSV format so you can easily import your AnyPassword or Keepass secrets to try it out with no risk.
