I was kinda surprised to see how long it was since I last posted. I knew it had been a while, just didn't realize how long.
Lots has happened for me these past couple of years. That last job I had? I quit that just short of my 5 year anniversary. Some changes happened at the company that made me realize it wasn't where I wanted to be. Despite the fact that they wanted to keep their "small company" feel, it got too corporate for me.
I felt like I spent more time justifying my time there than actually doing anything creative so I left. I started my own company doing pretty much the same thing. I even managed to get myself a few contracts. Enough to keep me working for a couple years.
Then this summer, out of the blue I found out that one of my clients had moved to town and set up shop. Not only that but they may want to hire me.
Fast foward a few months and even though I'm still self employed, the liklihood of re-entering the work force is quite high.
On the home front, that house we moved into - we're still there. Kinda nice to be settled.
My use of linux has expanded. I've been using Linux exclusively for some time now. I use Fedora 8 on my home computer, Ubuntu on my work computer and home laptop. I even have my wife converted to Ubuntu. Just gotta get my son to switch now :)
So that's a quick update - there's been lots of other stuff but I'll save that for later posts.
