Blog 1.2

It has been a long time since I've posted-- almost a year. That's hard to believe in some ways. I will not commit to daily updates at this time as, for now, this will suffice. I've done freelance web dev, contractual web dev + graphic design, and various interviews and "tryouts" (a bizarro-world take on an extended interview of sorts) over the last year; I put much serious time into all of this and I thought it meant a lot. It means a lot as to 'experience' but now, not much more. Perspectives change.

The change as of late is with a new job: I was hired by 'TaskStream' in Manhattan as a software tester. Sweet. TaskStream develops high-end educational and assessment software for schools, the military, and other organizations. This began as a contractual job for end-cycle testing ( late February, 2008 release) That was cool but in some ways depressing; I soon came to really like this place, the work, and all the people that where there. I tested, reported bugs, and have learned so much doing it, the whole time knowing it would end soon. But it didn't.


I was recently called into the boardroom one afternoon by the QA Manager and the Lead Web Developer. I thought: "What's this about??" I soon found out. I was offered a full-time job as a web developer && a graphic designer! Very sweet. The testing cycle ends in a few days and I will begin new web dev projects with my new boss. This is all very exciting and somewhat hard to believe.
