Hello everyone. I am not making apologies.

So. Things going on here.

Three months ago we hired Jeffery D’Urso for a 3 month contract to get some line of sight and direction in technology.  He was great.  It doesn’t seem like it has been 3 months, but as of friday it was.   He is now heading off into the sunset riding his 18.5 inch laptop…

But huge things have changed, I will detail those in other posts. Now I just want to review the big ones.

• Work developments
  • Website almost fully redeveloped in PHP on the Code Igniter framework. Some highlights -
    • Completely redesigned data framework, much cleaner
    • New design, and complete content reorg
    • HUGE drop in processing needs
    • Much more streamlined code -  at least a 75% drop in code volume
    • 2x the features (including, integration with video chat, workflow tool, new CRM integration points)
    • re developed customer section for better usability
  • Brand New curriculum and tests!
  • Many Many More.  When the site launches live I will give you a better update and maybe a walk through.
• Musical Developments
  • Picked up the Bass guitar
  • Expanded horizons
    These are my last 3months of listening changes
    
    Compare to overall
    
• Extra Curricular
  • My bowling team wow the league championship.
  • I am doing crossfit.  My crossfit number is 925
  • I started eating outmeal and PB&Js again.

Those seems like the biggies to get out there.   I will post a work update on the site once we go live (hopefully for 2010)

Hi Everyone.  I have been terrible.  But since this site is just for me i don’t care!

Well the summer is winding down.  Getting quite and i am getting less busy.   I have moved 99.8% of my apartment (just my futon is left and some food) but i am pretty much there in davis square now.  It is great!   I like it.  My roommates all seem great and my room is pretty sweet.

My dad and I built a sweet bed for me (i will post pictures and some basic instructions later on) so things have been going well.

Almost been a year at Ivy Insiders now, pretty exciting as well.  Also, shaved my beard and it looks good.  I guess the weight i loss came out of my fat face!

Thats it.  Just saying Hi.
