I started this blog back in 2003. I remember clearly asking permission to start an official “Small Business Server” blog to get information out to our community and my lead when I worked on the Small Business Server team thought it would take too much of my time. I disagreed and started this blog anyways. A lot has changed since then.
Many editions of Small Business Server and Home Server have shipped since that day, and the information on doing custom configuration to your server has grown on this site. It’s not going anywhere, that’s not what this post is about. It’s about the future!
After my SBS/WHS time was over, I decided to go work on Pinpoint (which has finally received some much needed updates thanks to some great friends and past co-workers!), but it was at this point in my career that I also decided to work remotely from Victoria, BC. Working remotely has it’s pros and cons, one of the cons is that you don’t have much say what you work on. As a result, I bounced around the Commerce Division, after Pinpoint was merged into it. I learned a lot, met some awesome people, but got away from what inspired me about building software. Getting to know my customer, getting to see UI and great experiences come to life and delight an end user. Time for a change.
As of this summer I work for MetaLab, we build interfaces. Actually, what we do is build a LOT of things. We build iOS apps, from the ground up, we build robust services, we build websites, and most of all, we do it directly for customers. We think about UI, we stress the P3 fit and finish bugs, and we design cool stuff that delights the end user.
Which brings me back to my blog. The design needed a face lift to make it more interesting. I wanted to talk weave technology and my creative side a little more. All these photos you see on this blog are ones that I’ve taken, and ones that I’m proud of. So you’ll continue to see photos on here, you’ll continue to see the same old content on here, and you’ll still see new technical content, but the scope is larger. I have my first MacBook now, I’m using Google Apps now, I use Slack.
Times are changin’… my theme is different, my posting scope is broader…
