Recently, my shared hosting provider decided to "upgrade" their system, and in the process it pretty much decimated my web sites. I managed to get content back up, but nothing much works, and I just haven't had time to rectify that, starting with switching hosts. I have slowly started migrating things to the new host, and last night finally got around to upgrading das Blog and moving that site over. There were a few glitches, but my new host resolved them fairly quickly, and now I can start taking care of my backlog of posts I have earmarked for writing about.

It's been a busy few months, and the biggest achievement has been cashing at the WSOP this year. I almost did it twice even!

Now it's time to focus on the business and my technical skills again. The nice thing is that I finally got around to setting it up to allow me to blog from email, which makes it a LOT more convenient to post things, as I always have email handy. A lot has been going on, and some of the things I need to update:
  • Updating content from my main business site, Rubicon Computing Solutions, LLC (still need to migrate it so I can update the content)
  • Technical ScreeningsPossible technical interviewing skills seminar (working with a local recruiting firm to help put something together)
  • Tips of the Day
  • New tools and links which are cool (so need to get the Rubicon site working again to post these)


I am hoping this weekend I can make the time to get these moving again. So welcome to the updated blog!
