Back to Work

My contract at a large enterprise software company concluded at the end of May. I was going to take the month of June to catch up on projects, and then dust off the resume in early July.

June worked out pretty much as planned. I ended up needing more decompression time than I expected. Nonetheless, I completed a lot of the projects that had been simmering on the back burner for months. My only regret was that I was hoping to blog more about them than I have. I've already written about my experience converting from Fedora Core to Ubuntu Linux. I've yet to write about my adventures getting a Samsung I-500 PDA/phone to sync with Linux, or running Linux on a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. Fun stuff.

The plan for a leisurely return to the job market in July was off the mark. Turns out a great opportunity arose before June was out. The work will involve development for a new streaming media product. It will be technically challenging, and could be a great product in an emerging market. I'm looking forward to it.

Hopefully I'll still find the time to tinker and blog about it.
