Welcome to Episode 117 and the first show of 2014 and our return after an extended hiatus. I explain where I have been over the last few weeks as the show starts and get you caught up on how 2013 closed out for WindowsObserver. I also share the trials and tribulations of moving the site to a new host and using Windows Azure for storing static files relating to the website. Suffice it to say I am very happy with my new host and the speed things are working so it was well worth the effort. Since this is a catch-up show I cover a lot of things from the last few weeks that will impact what we keep an eye on in 2014 so buckle up and tighten those straps!
