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)

So I have changed up my plans and rearranged my housing situation for next year. (as you know, this year I was living in a 1 Bedroom costing way to much) So I am moving out to Davis Square and into a 5 bedroom house. I am pretty excited about it.

The new roommates seem nice, and the rooms are big, and the rent is cheap. Also davis square is a really exciting place to be. Since during the winter I can just hop on the T for two stops and the summer i can walk/bike pretty quickly right into the square I think it will be perfect.

Here is the map of my new neightborhood

One funny thing is that my best friend Lindsey lived out in Davis square during college and i rarely got out there to see her!  But when i did it was nice!
