I’m back

May 4, 2018
I just discovered, much to my surprise, that OD is back from the dead. I didn't think that would happen, although I always hoped. It's a little weird, and I *think* I have entries back though I have not checked them yet. I wonder if the notes were saved as well? I wonder if any…

  • Work found, pending due diligence
    December 24, 2013
    I have found a job. I start ~first of the year. Contract to perm, but that appears to be just a formality. The contract part is technically just a "try before you buy" type of arrangement, but I'd have to screw up pretty bad for it not to become permanent. In addition, it gives the…

  • Looking for work
    November 25, 2013
    As of a couple+ months ago, I am looking for work again. I got caught in a company wide layoff. I was one of about 30 people across multiple data centers that got the axe. From the paperwork, it was obvious that it was the first of two waves. I warned people about that. It…

  • Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
    November 21, 2012
    On this day, I have decided to be thankful for my mother who taught me to read. She was reading to me at a very early age. As a result, I was pointing out words and starting to read as early as two. I have always loved reading, and I tend to lose myself in…

Destinations include: UK, South Africa, India, Singapore, and Australia. 3. I hate my pool. I may convert to salt water. 4. I found a Texas Hold'em cash&...

    No, I haven't gone away. I've read. I have decisions to make. They are not easy. I have not forgotten friends, nor derelicted, nor forgotten to remember. I am deciding what to tell. I'm just sayin' Hey, does anyone still read here? If I am forgotten, I completely understand. I've live it, after a...

  • Eclectic updates including why I’m absent lately
    December 16, 2011
    For those of you that didn't know, I am a Redditor (www.reddit.com) and my username there is All_Your_Base (go figure:-)). Casey Leigh found me and said hi. Anyone else here on Reddit? I joined a year ago after leaving Digg, and comment there rather voraciously. This is, I believe, a major reason...

    Good evening everyone. I have not written for two reasons. 1. I have been out of the country. 2. I have been out of sorts.
