On the Road Again…
Well, that didn’t last long.
We got to Redlands in September of last year (after having moved from AZ to FL in Jan of 2005). This coming September, we’ll be hitching up the wagons once again to head north.
I recently accepted a new position at Amcom Computer Services in sunny San Ramon, California working with Tariq Ahmed. It sounds like it’s going to be an exciting opportunity, and I expect to learn a few new things along the way (Flex!). They’ve already bought a Flex book for me (thanks, Tariq!) and I’m working my way through the chapters (the book is The Essential Guide to Flex 2 with Actionscript 3.0 by Charles E. Brown).
Not really looking forward to making another move… but the good news is that we still haven’t fully unpacked from the last one (procrastination for the win!). But everything about the move seems right. Everyone I’ve met at Amcom seem nice and genuinely interested in not only the success of the company, but the successes of each other. I think the Bay Area (ok… East Bay Area) is going to be a bit easier to tolerate than the heat of the southern California desert (this same type of heat was the reason we originally left AZ). We’ll also be closer to places like Tahoe and Yosemite… both of which are high on my wife’s list of favorite vacation spots.
Should we start a pool on where I’ll be moving to next September?

Charlie, I know the feeling. I think it has something to do with the programming industry. Either we just can’t sit still or appearances are deceiving when we take that new spot. (Or your wife gets a good job and they move it to a cold place, so unfair!)

Tariq’s a good guy. Tell us how it goes. Best of luck!
