A list of some pretty good extensions, I'm definitely going to have to check out some of them.

The Fine Article and the inevitable Slashdot thread.

Starting April 2, I will be working for the City of Las Cruces as a SQL Server Database Administrator! I just spoke with the IT department's HR person and she confirmed the offer and scheduled me for my orientation day (such fun that will be!).

Initially I'll be staying with my aunt for probably two months, basically to get some money stayed up, some debt cleared, then get an apartment (and a new laptop). If all goes well and I survive the probationary period, then I'll look into the concept of buying a house. Obviously that's a wait and see.

Unfortunately this will mean living 100 miles from my wife. I'll be going home most weekends, and hopefully she'll be coming down when she's off-shift, as long as it doesn't get too hot. ;-) She's allergic to high temperatures, she's half crayon and half candle. 'Cruces gets over 100f in the summer, but it also cools down at night: something that no longer happens in Phoenix.


I am SOOO looking forward to this! My database skills have definitely become a bit rusty, but apparently they were good enough.

(and I'm going to spend a few days in Phoenix before I start in 'Cruces, so I'm hoping that I can get some of my friends to run something)


This will also let me work towards a Bachelor of Information and Communications Technology with a minor in Security Technology and Intelligence Studies. Sadly, it also means no more darkroom access. :-(
