Its been over a week since a blogpost. Things at work have been busier and I’ve been re-assigned to new responsibilities which carry requirements for me to take active ownership of a number of priority projects on the Linux side. That’s a good thing since I enjoy that work immensely. I did notice the time that I have not written a blogpost. Bad me…

Time passages have been going on of late and I’ve had to build new servers at work for knowledge management, collaboration/wiki, and mailing lists. It all takes a bite out of time. I do have some time reserved for “play” and I will be learning iSCSI this next week to bring on dedicated storage via that protocol to my ESXi box. Its more about learning than needing.

I just noticed that now its been about 5 months or so since I left Visa Information Products and one of the most enjoyable jobs I ever had. A person at the defunked Levanta once told me I would never had a job with a big company with my work attitude. Neener. But I left it and now things are even better. I do miss Scott and Mani and I miss the times we spent working on product things, change management, etc. Visa was a great job but when it came time to turn the corner they simply could not equal where I’m at now. Celestix is just better in so many diverse areas. I wrote my own new job description and then the company management agreed. What a refreshing turn. I was able to name what i wanted to do.

I’ll definitely try to blog more often. I’ve had some pretty basic feelings about the whole anthropology thing. I seem to go through “spikes” of emotion over it. I guess I will never let it go all the way. Dammit. Baggage has its tentacles on me. Archeology was just so much more and different than anything I have ever done. I guess I do miss it.

Anyways, I am planning another trip back to Singapore and India and this time, I’m gonna get elsewhere. I want to get to HongKong for 2 days and then a day or so in Shanghai. We’ll see when it happens…
