New Fall Season on pcal.net
We here at pcal.net have been enjoying the offseason, but it's time to get back to it. A lot has happened since our last entry; in the last couple of months, I
- Got married and went to Tahiti
- Bade adieu to my lovely new wife, Grace, as she moved back to Boston for the fall
- Left my job at Terracotta
- Began a new consulting startup writing some new Java BI software
- Went to a bunch of baseball games
- Leaving Terracotta was a tough call. I had a lot of fun there, and I'll miss working with those smart folks.
- However, I'm also having a lot of fun now. I set my own hours. I'm learning about data warehousing. I'm hacking again. I've been able to see friends more and get more things done around the house while still getting a lot of work done. As long as I can continue to stay out of the World of Warcrack, I should be fine.
- I got to see Oakland clinch the AL West at Safeco, and more recently win the ALDS. Going to ALCS this week. They really are going to go all the way this year.
- I fixed pcal.net so that you L7s using IE can see it without that lovely and helpful 'Operation Aborted' message. (p.s. The problem was actually in Movable Type maps plugin, MTMaps). (p.p.s. Get a real browser).
That's all for now. Sorry for being gone so long. I missed you, too.
I don't know about the As going all the way, although this Mariner fan will be rooting his brothers in the AL West as well. Go As!!
Have fun at the games!
1) I finally found a decent RSS reader that I like. It was written by Paul Ambrose. :) (Its nice have a multi-millionaire writing software and fixing bugs for you) http://www.spoonfeedr.com
1.5) I finally put RSS on my blog, though I take way more photos than I do write and while Flickr has RSS you'd probably get nausea if you subscribed.
2) Congrats on getting married
3) Welcome to the real world where databases still rule
4) What is BI?
Hey Mark.
1) Cool, I started playing with it spoonfeedfr. Definitely has potential to drag me away from Bloglines.
1.5) I'm looking for anything resembling a feed on www.niffgurd.com and coming up empty. Where is it?
2) Thanks.
3) Yeah, it definitely feels like I've stepped out of the reality distortion field. :)
4) To me, BI = 'Business Intelligence', though it seems to be overloaded with 'Business Integeration' as well.
