Let's try this again...

Well the last blog didn't work out. Technically, everything was fine. I just didn't have a whole lot to say that I'd like people to see on the Internet, and I had a feeling that eventually Google would get bored, and decide to archive my page, so I felt is was best to play it safe.

2007 was probably one of the worst years I've had in a while... While I enjoyed the company I worked for, I was very frustrated with what I was working on. I can honestly say that it was a case of "being frustrated with water simply because it was wet." My colleagues were dealing with the same wetness in a far more professional manner than myself, so it seemed like time to find a change. So that's what I did.

Here's a break down:

1. I went from a big company with a medium sized team (about 50 people) to a small company (about 20 people). This is a big win for me, since I tend to fit better with the small company/start-up environment.
2. I went from server development with a focus on payment processing and digital asset management to hooking together flash interactive web sites and games.
3. I went from being a detriment to my team (All they'd never say it...) to being an asset (at least once I get my head around Action Script 2.0/3.0).
4. Today, my first day at work, despite a couple of hiccups with getting everything setting up, I was able to get all the way through the day without cursing.

And for me, that's a big win :)
