Note to self: A job board I built a while back for myself is one of the top freelance job boards in the world, and it is all because I built nice aggregations of the real top job boards back in the day when I was doing that for fun and profit. People go there to watch the jobs from everywhere roll in.. Funny how the net works sometimes.
Second note to self: I need to write up an article about animespinner, the coolest anime project eva! that I built/am building..YOU MUST WATCH THE DEMO (please feel free to comment about it, I need that..) THe article will contain info on the wild world of new internet TV, Otaku craziness and how an idea I had when I was trying to compare manga vrs anime developed into a whole new way to watch anime. (that is NOT done yet)
Now, on to the real news about me: I, after much debate and thought have decided to leave my baby (no, not eve…) socialight, mobile coolness will not longer have me as lead engineer. It took me quite a long time to decide to leave, but in the end I think it will be good. I am leaving on very good terms with my amazing coworkers, who I will miss very much and still plan to hang out with, but it is time for a new venture, and a new road.. I felt a true desire to get back to what I am excellent at, and that is handling linux boxes under intense load and programming php for high-end web sites. After a year of faking it, I have come to the conclusion that “No, I am not a rails guy” I like to built systems where I intimately know every moving piece and I won’t have that with rails, nor any framework.. sadly.
I will miss socialight much. Tomorrow (Friday) is my last day with them before moving on to a new Job on Monday (Internet streaming radio work) and we they are planning a goodbye “go and get drinks” session at 6pm, so if you know us and are in the area, stop by and bid me farewell..
Cheers
