This has been a long time coming. When my wife and I first filed for a sole proprietorship back in October of 2006 I thought (correctly) that I would be doing the work, and my wife Chantal would be doing the books. As our daughters got a little bit older Chantal started verturing out into the world of consulting as well. These days she is doing almost as much consulting as I am. However – and herein lies the rub – she does not consult in the field of software. Instead, her consulting is all in the field of Bioengineering. It obviously makes sense to use the same tax EIN, but it doesn’t make sense for her to do business as a company with software in the title. Our tax guy said that the time had come for us to upgrade to a corporation instead of a sole proprietorship, so we used the opportunity to change our name from “Brain Hz Software” to “Brain Hz Consulting, Inc.” We got approval to use the name and I reserved the domain. Today, we officially filed for a C-corp with the secretary of state. As soon as that goes through we are going to switch over to the new site.

Another year, another San Diego Code Camp I signed up for this talk way in advance, and forgot to check up on it. There were a couple of presenters giving similar talks. What I tried to do was demo my way through WCF REST support, WCF Data Services, and WCF RIA Services, explaining what each one was and how it differed from the others. I had a *TON* of questions and so the talk ran a little long, and I didn’t get to do any of my RIA demos. I think I stopped after slide 15. However, I did have a couple people come up to me afterwords and say that my talk was there favorite talk of the whole code camp, so in that respect – mission accomplished! The room was jam packed standing room only, so thanks to everyone who came out.

Here are the Slides and Demos
