Software Developer, Media Nut, and Proud Father of Two

I finally got off my butt and added more pictures to my Flickr account. I'm fortunate enough to have a great view of the sunset from my front door, even better from my upstairs bedroom, so I added a new collection of pictures called Sunsets from the Front Door. By no means am I professional photographer, not even a hobbyist, but when I see a beautiful sky, I can't help but shoot. The ones attached to this blog post are the sunset before Hurricane Ike hit Houston. I also took a some time to figure out how I could connect to my Flickr account and place the latest batch of images that we have uploaded on the left side of my site. I had to rely on the Flickr module for Drupal 5 because the Drupal 6 version is a tad slow in being ported... oh the joys of development. I hope you enjoy!

Becky and I moved from New Orleans for several reasons. The biggest one by far was the fact that we couldn't afford to buy a home there since the prices shot up after Hurricane Katrina. Another was to move to an area less prone to hurricanes, and now here we ware facing a direct hit from Hurricane Ike. Can you sense the excitement and the thrill? I can't either.

Over the last year, heck, the last six months, I've been told by a few people that I should start my own business. The thought of starting and running my own business does not sound like the kind of challenge I'm up for. There's create the company, properly handling the finances so that the company money is separate from my personal money, lawyers for the overly and meticulously worded contracts, fees, registrations, filing, and then, enter a boat load of sarcasm, my most favorite part of all: finding new work. My other option is going with a sole proprietorship, which pretty much avoids all of that nonsense. However, as an employee of a company that has their own sales staff, I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff.

I'm a weebit late on this, but here goes: Introducing Anna Marie Miller!

Telecommuting jobs rock, not to be confused with an employer rocking. I love working from home, but I am becoming unhappy with my employer. I greatly appreciate all they have done for me in the past, but I can't help but get the feeling of being, at times, undervalued and witnessing plans being taken that make me say enough is enough (sorry, no details). Because of this I am weighing my job options. Living in the fourth largest city in the US, surely I should be able to find a job that would be fitting to my needs. I admit that I am a little picky about where I work and whom I work for, especially since I've been working from home for almost three of the last four years.
