Guess who’s back…back again…
I’ve taken a couple month hiatus from blogging. Partly because I’ve been really busy with big changes in my life, partly because I didn’t want to push things to the internet before they were finalized, and partly because I’m just lazy. Regardless of why I’ve been gone, I’ve returned to continue subtracting from the global body of knowledge on the internet.
In the last couple months several big things have happened:
- I’ve moved back to Minnesota
- I’ve started a new job
- I’ve bought a house
- We’ve bought a new dog for my parents
That last one may seem less substantial than the rest, but Wilbur is a great dog, and my mom has been wanted one since our last dog, Minnie, died a couple years ago.
Anyway, Katy and I moved back to Minnesota in mid-April. Katy did so a week earlier than me because her new job at Land O Lakes started before mine did. She started as a contractor there, but has since moved into a full time position.
I began working at EmergingSoft. It’s a great, small software company that makes a product called MeetingPlanner. It’s a tool that’s used to manage the schedules for meeting rooms and equipment (LCD projectors, VCRs, etc..). It really stands out from the competition in that has exceptional integration with Microsoft Outlook. My job is somewhere between a business analyst and a software engineer, so my work has been a nice variety of technical and non-technical tasks.
Finally, Katy and I have purchased a house in Inver Grove Heights. Saying that might be slightly premature, as we don’t close on the place until Wednesday, but all the details are pretty much wrapped up. A few pictures of the new residence can be viewed here.
Well, that brings me up-to-date on all the big things. Over the next few weeks I’m sure I’ll continue my usual trickle of random tech stuff and mildly entertaining YouTube videos.
