(writing in lower case in honor of my subject: casey).
casey has
a fun post which a list of pros, cons and moots about writing for msdn
online.
out of his, i will pick one from each category that i agree or disagree
with
pro: getting paid (no brainer)
con: waiting for the article to go live. as you may
have noticed, i have nothing on msdn online, though i *have*
actually written three articles and am working on a 4th. Though, heck,
that's nothing compared to print!
moot: he lists the due diligence paperwork as moot. eliot,
did you hear that? hahahaha. I'd definitely put the paperwork in the con list!
though, since the paperwork makes getting paid possible, perhaps that's how it
balances out to a moot for casey.
