Still here. Big deal, I know.

That Access DB I talked about over a year ago is still there. I'm not doing much with it, someone else fields the questions from the business and asks me to look things up once in a while.

Nowadays, I get to manage a lovely product called webMethods. I've worked with it in the past, and it's still a pain in the ass. Don't get me wrong, it can be a great solution for interoperability, EDI and web services, but only if you do it right. You have to make sure that the resources you use are disposed of when, and at the point, you are done with them. If you leave anything behind, you're going to have problems. That's the best way I can explain it without getting technical.

Other than that, life is good.

About

I'm a developer by trade. You probably haven't heard of any software I've written; it's mainly used within the company I work for. I've worked with more stuff than I want to list. I currently work with Oracle, SQL Server, Access, ASP and .NET, among other things. At home, I'm a Mac user. I'm into Cocoa, Python, Perl and Bash.
