LONG time no talk

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack.  I thought I'd check in and see if my blogger.com account was even still active.  Apparently it is.  So, what to say.  It's been quite some time since my last post and here I sit drawing a blank.  Lots of stuff has gone on in my life since 2009.. about two years worth of stuff in fact!

Linda is finally home!

My wife was living and working down in Los Angeles and only moved back up to Seattle (Edmonds) over memorial day 2011.  She was down there for the better part of 9 years, but finally got the opportunity to transfer up to the Seattle office of Aon Risk Services.  This, needless to say, was quite a happy day for me, let alone her.  She brought another cat with her (long story), but he's getting along with the two we have at the Edmonds house, so all is well.  His name is Mo, which is short for Mouth, because apparently when he was a kitteh, he was quite .. talkative.

So, what else.. well, I'm getting more and more involved, finally, with the local dev (software development) community, mainly via twitter.  I've realized that I really should be doing a technical blog, but am unsure whether or not I should simply turn this one in that direction, or create a new one.  I'm thinking a new one is probably the best idea as the development community may or may not give a rats rear what's going on in my personal life.  For that matter, I'm not sure if ANYONE reads this as it is about lil ole me's personal life, and was meant to keep family abreast of what's up with me.  Sadly, most of my family are rather technologically challenged.

Today is my last day @ my Frontier Communications contract.  I feel like I had a serious growth spurt while here (as a developer of course), and will definitely miss the people here as they have been just wonderful to work for and with.  I'm heading to *gasp* Eastgate to work with the fine folks at Ramp Group, where I'll be doing all manner of challenging work.  The good news is that I'll only have to haul myself down to Eastgate once or twice a week and will be working from home the rest of the time.

I suppose that's it for now.  I think I'll post a link to this on twitter and see what happens.  ; )
