Newness

I've been really really quiet lately. I've ignored Rach, I've ignored James, I've ignored my new old friend Gordana in the emails. And I've ignored the blog. I haven't been bullskipping or anything like that, though. I've been fairly occupied and busy.

First off, Aimee and I are moving out of our current digs and into a new apartment. Our current landlords are great, but the apartment is a little small for us. So we're looking for a bigger place. We were going to move into another complex, but the company there has questionable business practises (they employ the bait-and-switch technique very very effectively). I won't link to them, as I don't need to be sending traffic their way. So we looked instead at a privately owned place and we really liked it, so hopefully we'll be able to move in there. With two days to go on this lease, the pressure's high!

As you know, Daniel is now here for a year. He'll be working at Brontes. Yes, that's right, I did not say "with me" even though that has been the plan throughout. Actually, I resigned my position at Brontes on Thursday.

I highly enjoyed working with the team at Brontes. Ed is easily the best VP of Engineering I've ever worked under. Phil was a fantastic team leader, and Dave is a great guy to work with.
I made some good friends at Brontes: Joe, Barbara, Janos, Tong, Justin, Dave, Tom, Brandon, Adam (I'm missing a url for Joe, but I'll fill it in later).

Suffice it to say, I'll miss them all terribly. It's bittersweet, this parting of ways. I'm going to a new exciting opportunity that I've wanted for a long long time, and I'd kind of reached the end of where I wanted to be in Software Engineering.

The new opportunity? Ha, I'll keep you guessing until I post the next installment.
