06/21/2003 Archived Entry: "Where's the updates?"

It's amazing how much effort it takes to bring a house up to shape. Since moving to my late grandmother's house in Connecticut, much of my time has been consumed repairing things. Grandpa built the place in 1954, and there's lots of stuff that's just wrong by today's standards. There's also a good bit of neglect, as one might expect in a house previously owned by an infirm, elderly grandmother. So, as a student of Maslow's hierarchy of needs might expect, I've been busy repairing the physical structure of my home, making sure it's safe.

Another chunk of my time has been consumed looking for work. The job market for UNIX system administrators is terrible. The openings that exist want jacks-of-all-trades, experts in system administration, database administration, Java, various exotic software I don't know... I've even started looking for other fields where I have skills, such as page layout. If you need someone, please drop me a line...

I expect that updates will be sporadic for a while yet. I'll try to make them more often than every few months, though!
