Change in Hosting and Return

As can be seen from the dates of the past four articles I have written, I have been away from this site for some time.  In the past four years there has been many changes in my life which I will go into a little later.  But first, I am back and I will be posting on a regular schedule, this is something I've been wanting to do for some time.  My online articles will cover many of the technical (computer stuff) I am doing, online technology I have experience with, corporate software I use, and business issues, business intelligence, business tools, etc.

I haven't been very active since 2005, at that time my children were 10 and 5, they took up much of my time both with homework, and just being a good Dad.  They are now 14 and 11, they do not need me as much and this will leave time for my online writing.  I have been promoted twice in the past four years.  The second promotion required a family move from South Carolina to Georgia.  We settled into our much larger and newer home last August and my family is just now starting to feel at home in a new location.  As my son started High School this year, I have committed to no more family moves while either of them are in High School, this means I'll be in Georgia for at least seven years getting them both through High School.

Will I commit to staying here after the youngest graduates from High School?  I can't say at the moment, my second career is on solid ground and I can go anywhere I want, so with seven years to position myself for the next big thing, I'll really have to play it by ear between now and June of 2017 (when my daughter graduates).

I'll be playing around with the design of this site over then next few weeks, adding bits and pieces as I go along.  I'll be adding my favorite links, but I will not be adding comments or forums.  Unfortunately, I've had my fill of combating SPAM and its just too time consuming to be worrying about it in the future.  I will post e-mails I get from readers, but the ones I post will have to be on-point, bringing added value to the article, or pertinent to what this site is and will become.

I will be adding a Creative Commons copyright to everything, and this will be posted soon.  I have a companion site, which isn't up yet, but will be as soon as I get the current hand coded HTML files imported into CityDesk.  The reason for these changes is I am on a lifetime plan with Textdrive, they sold the company to Joyent, so I am being moved from the old BSD based servers to new Solaris based servers.  This post is the first on a Joyent Accelerator.

As it is getting close to the time for me to sign-off for the evening, I'll say good-night, I should have everything sorted out by the first of the new year.  So come on back and see how we can grow.
