There is no spoon
Soā¦ Itās been more than a month since my last post? I really canāt believe it, which is why Iām writing this now!!!
The main thing happening in my last few months is my change of employer from Raytheon to West Corp. Still in Omaha, and still doing J2EE, but I received a large promotion so I can detail more in design and decisions than merely implementation. Donāt get me wrong, Iām still writing code most of my day. Iād go crazy if I didnātā¦
This means Iām not heavily invested in the Jetspeed portal engine, which is a bit sad considering Iāve been working with it as it has grown to maturity. Iām now mostly engrained with Weblogic, and experimenting with every ālatest buzzword technologyā that floats by.
Having done AJAX work, long before it was called AJAX, Iām happy to explore more code in that direction. Along with my attempts to push for more JMS, Spring, unit testing, agile approaches, and anything else to make life easier at my new position.
On a personal note, our daughter, Madison, turned 1 in the past couple of weeks. What an amazing experience the first year has been for Shayla and I! Our family really is the greatest blessing in my lifeā¦
Oh, and I canāt forget, Go Huskers! Our baseball team just won their first game EVER in the College World Series here in Omaha!!!
