It has begun
May 2nd, 2007
Today is my third day "full-time" on Xerpi! I actually cannot believe it -- this is so much more satisfying than my most recent gigs. It is very nice to be back down at the code level with a platform that allows me to quickly make tangible improvements. In two days I have been able to make a nice dent in our open issues on the current codebase, plan the rewrite, and begin work on our new domain model.
But wait, that is not all. I am doing all of this from the comfort of my own home with my two daughters (10 month old and 30 month old), dogs, cats, and horses, and my MacBook Pro, of course. Can't beat sitting on the front porch in a relatively rural setting deploying code via ... [technical details removed to protect the innocent] .
The rural/high tech contradiction cracks me up. In fact, aside from my laptop laying around (or my wife and her laptop when she is working at home) the technology in our place is pretty well hidden. And the neighbors who do know that I do "computer stuff", probably think I am running a pron site.
