Well not all that much, but I’m busy doing lots of nothing worth mentioning if that’s any consolation, it is to me anyway. We launched the first installment of the project I’m working on YourDigitalLocker. I mostly worked on the back-end service that’s behind the scenes. The only part of the webapp (parts that users see) is the download redirect and url generation code which I’m sure means a whole lot of nothing to most people.

In another piece of work related news my friend Matt is leaving Amazon (hopefully if you know him you’ve heard it from him before you’re hearing it here.) Luckily he’s plans to stick around the Seattle area so he’ll still be around and work with a couple of friends on a start-up so good luck to him with that.

Outside of work I’m getting ready to travel like hell. I’ll have three trips in just over a month, starting in the middle of next month. The first one coming up i’m looking forward to. I’m heading down to Santa Clara, CA for the MySQL Users Conference. I’m looking forward to it, I’ve not been to a professional conference before and i know the area pretty well, but haven’t had occasion to do too much free exploring. It’s a work trip so that’s cool too. We’re looking at using MySQL on a couple of inprogress and upcoming projects, mainly b/c I’m serving as a proponent for it.

Imediately after getting back from that trip, probably without even leaving the airport, I’ll be heading to Lexington, KY for my friend Shawn’s wedding and to visit. It should be a chance to set some of my family as well if they manage to make it up there for lunch/dinner. A few weeks folloinw that I’ll be heading back home for my brother Todd’s wedding. I haven’t figured out how long I’ll be able to stay for that trip yet, but hopefully it will be a bit of time. We’ll that’s (more than) enough for a single post. Wow, I’ve managed to strech not that much out in to a lot of words.
