E-Democracy Bar Camp, March 2, 2007, Washington DC
Hello all,
I went to a barcamp in DC on the 2nd. The topic was e-democracy. I really like the barcamp concept, as it is very impromptu and organized in large part by the attendees. If I stay here in Orange County, I am seriously thinking of trying organize a Ruby barcamp. I will seriously need to research it ... and get lots of help. There's ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Assuming I can finish my packing early, anyone want to do something on my last day in (hopefully) a long time I will be in the DC area? (I got another gig in Southern California ... a week-long 'working einterview' but if it goes well I am staying on for 3+ months). -
Back in Virginia
I'm back in Virginia, have been since mid-December. I am looking for a new gig (or permanent job, even), but the going is slow. (Hopefully it will wake up some soon, post-holidays).

So, I have been given notice -- my last day ( Read more... ) -
Doing well enough in LA ... brief return visit to VA
I'm doing well enough here, not getting enough sleep (which worries me, as it lowers my work productivity) ... but otherwise OK. I am seeking a room of my own, I can't keep staying as a guest on someone else's couch. But I need to be in a safe place, and not too far from downtown (where I work). And I don't want to pay a really huge rent ... I ( Read more... ) -
Arrival in LA
I arrived fine in LA, I have a host who is putting me up for a short time while I find a place to live. More after my first day of work tomorrow.
