I don’t really have anything really exciting to report, so y’all get to listen to me blather. And after all, that’s what blogs are for anyway, right?<\/p>\n

I have been dishonorably discharged from Amazon. It seems that I am incompetent. It might have had something to do with slipping a note under the CEO’s door, though. But I have no proof of that, so let’s assume it was an un-related event. Being a nutjob doesn’t necessarily get one booted from employment. I think I can prove that.<\/p>\n

My friends were very supportive during my short stint of unemployment:<\/p>\n

\r\n18:32 <@drgone> how's being fired?\r\n18:32 < cj_> drgone: I made money by being fired.  isn't that great?\r\n18:32 <@drgone> rock on\r\n18:32 <@drgone> gotta love hush money\r\n20:13 <@btm> cj: where you working now?\r\n20:56 < cj_> btm: cardomain.com\r\n<\/nowiki><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
I went to lunch with a couple of friends from #mono<\/a> today.  That references earns me the right to spam the monologue<\/a> folks (hi everyone!).  benjoldersma, his friend [Ian] and I went to an Indian place in Fremont.  I was hoping that RevFry<\/a> would come, too, but he is lame.<\/p>\n
We talked about the Seattle Mono Users’ Group (all four of us), Prebuild, the DLR, my hopes of getting a gig at Microsoft to implement Perl6 on the DLR, IKVM, GTK#, gtk+, XAML, WPF, Moonlight, Ubuntu, and other stuff, I’m sure.<\/p>\n
I’m working at cardomain.com<\/a> on contract.  It’s fun.  The people there seem smart and interested in what they’re doing.  Their development infrastructure makes me happy.  The fact that their devs do automated testing<\/a> also makes me happy.  The fact that I have LoS<\/a> to the Westin<\/a> makes me happy.  The parking situation rains on my parade.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the Westin, I let down my friends with whom I co-locate.  I was unable to run to the rack when one of the servers needed love and attention.  It cost the other folks quite a bit of revenue.  Allow me to apologize publicly.  I’m sorry folks.  I’m doing what I can to reduce the risk of this happening again.  I hope I can make it up to you.<\/p>\n
Hannah<\/a> got a job at Microsoft working on the Surface team.<\/p>\n
And with that, I will select some categories… thanks for tuning in :)<\/p>\n\n
