Thanks to Donny for setting me up with this Blog account...
To get started, a bit about me:
I'm from the SQL Server development team -- I'm a Program Manager in the SQL Engine and am responsible for Full-Text Search among other things. I've been at Microsoft for a little more than 2 years now ... grew up in Boston, MA and went to school in NY. Aside from spending a lot of time with SQL Server, my other interests include goofing around a lot with C#, travel, and hockey. I actually used to have a Blog of my own a few years ago (when I had more time on my hands)... in those days I actually wrote back end code myself -- quite a lot of fun.
Depending on when it is ok to share Yukon stuff, I'll definitely be talking about Full-Text, and also other random tidbits you may or may not find interesting. I'm looking forward to hearing more from folks out there and you can reach me at acencini@ microsoft.com or you can hit me up on my personal email at andrew@ cencini.com (remove the space between the @ and domain)... See you later...
