Actually, I think I've never been happier in my life (both professional and private) - suddenly I find myself working the way I like, with a boss that's an example for what professionalism and excellence stands for, and I'm one step to buy the "dream house" :-)
Yesterday I've been introduced as PM to a MOSS to Sharepoint 2010 migration project. I thought my duty was more related to Systems Architecture, but in fact it is much broader than that! My "boussse" wants me to learn every bit-and-piece within almost all the departments on the enterprise and to take a management role. What more can I say? This is a dream come true!
On top of it, my past as a SW Developer proves to be useful: I've been asked if I could implement some type of application that would pick up and register the MAC Addresses (Wifi, LAN and 3G) and Laptop Serial Number to a database (Oracle). If I didn't want to do it, it was ok: they would ask the development guys to do it (effort estimation, f-specs, etc etc etc). But of course I would do it - I'm avid to produce, to deliver. Whatever comes, goes! So I took on the challenge and fired up VS2010 (long time no see!) and start coding.
Actually this task took me more time than expected, due to an issue with NetworkInterfaceTypes in Win7 not being yet "recognized" on the 4.0 framework. This was happening because the NetworkInterfaceType enumeration for was returning an int (243) for the 3G network adapter, instead of the enumeration.
So to solve this, I had to parse the enumeration to int and then compare it to 243 or 244... this took some time to solve... actually it was solved by googling for the problem and finding someone who already had this problem (3rd link below).
