Alright, now before all three people who read this start hanging me for the title of the post, or poo gets flung by all the code monkeys around the net, I am not implying that PowerBuilder is an upgrade to .NET. However, since I haven’t posted in a while and there has been ample time for me to have things going on in my life I figure I’ll just bring everyone up to speed in one fell posting.

So what’s new? Well, since the last post I’ve quit my job, started a new one, quit one of the two bands I was in (or rather I finally told them my temp position in the band was just a temp thing and it’s time to find a real replacement), had a few holidays, saw a few movies, etc…

So the important part of those happenings would have to be the job change. I basically was tired of doing alot of work for little to no appreciation. Being expected to work more than 8 hours a day with no compensation for hours beyond 8. The boss would always tell us that 8 hours is just a job, beyond that is a career. With no compensation beyond 8 hours, I think 8 hours is a job, and beyond that would have to be slavery, or at least indentured servitude.

So yeah, now I’m working for another company, doing the same type of work (consulting/programming) and making a bit more to do it which is always a plus. Beyond that it’s a much better working environment which does make one inclined to do even more work. Of course now I’m learning PowerBuilder to maintain/upgrade an old app as we bid for a re-write to .NET. There will probably be a few more posts on PowerBuilder as I go…. it’s so much fun.
