It's been a long while since I've posted on here. It's been a busy few months! Since October, my wife and I have been to Thailand and back. I've also left URS Corporation and started up with a small Software company called Cedrus doing C++ development for Mac & Windows 2 weeks ago. It's definitely a big shift in gears, but a challenge that I'm loving so far!

It was an interesting interview process. I saw a short and sweet ad on Craigslist saying something along the lines of:

We wont bore you with a generic HR job description. We're just looking for a good programmer that likes working with other good programmers.

Of course there were a few other details, but it definitely caught my attention. I sent an email back and before I knew it I was in there interviewing. I think the funniest part is how well what they do coincides with a side project of mine (that I haven't talked about on here yet). Between work and classes, I've been working on a Cocoa implementation of the N-Back memory improvement game. Cedrus' main product is a stimulus/response tracking software. Needless to say, it was a match!

So here I am; still working on my N-Back implementation in my spare time. It's about 90% done. I'll post more about it once it gets nearer to completion!

As usual, last night before bed I checked my email only to find my VPS host down! It was the third time in a week that this had happened. Apparently VPSLand has been having some serious server stability issues. Being the third time in a week, it was time to take action. I did the normal routine of filing a support request (which they finally answered at 4:30 AM, 5 and a half hours after I put it in) that the server my VPS is on is down again. It didn't come back until mid afternoon today... nearly 14 hours after I filed a support request!

During my wait, I surfed around a bit and found Linode. If you're reading this now, you're reading it being hosted from Linode! Rather than deal with the problems VPSLand is having, I pulled the plug on them and copied everything over to Linode!

Thanks for getting me up and running so fast guys! Now I have more memory, more hard drive space, and more bandwidth to use for the same price! So long VPSLand, Hello Linode!!

BTW: If you want to sign up for Linode, use my referral link: Click Here!

As you can probably see, I've started a new site design. Please be patient while the changes come through. I should have it all done by this weekend.

So this post doesn't have much of anything to do with this site, but a lot to do with me. I got married this weekend to my wonderful wife Sri!

I've switched over to a new hosting provider. I wanted a little more control of the systems administration so I switched from shared hosting to a VPS. Hopefully everything still works for everyone.
