Last day of ciccadas, hummingbirds, and fighting with blue jays

So since March I’ve been working from home and scoping out new projects. Working every day, slaving away with 30 tabs open in Firefox, pondering all the new stuff out on the net, who’s got it and who doesn’t, and what in the world I wanted to do next. Though always interesting, it’s been hard to always make sense of what’s going on, and that’s been a lot of what I’ve been writing about.

But now I have a job, and starting Monday, the hummingbirds, ciccadas and nasty blue jays will just be a if-I’m-lucky weekend diversion. I’ll be ok. I’m actually wickedly allergic to the jasmine that the hummingbirds love so and my herbs will just have to take care of themselves. I will however miss the ciccadas.

I’m just kidding really - it’s a great job, with a real team, and I’m terribly excited.

So that’s what’s been up the last couple weeks as I get everything settled for that. This week is “vacation geek-out week”, full of conferences. I have a bunch of stuff to write up about Supernova and then there’s Gnomedex tomorrow, which should be interesting. As long as I’m not locked in the back room reserved for the paraiah that procrastinated on registration. Ah, the rewards of social engineering.
