Today, for the first time in almost a decade, I am unemployed. This is a little story as a memorandum of my time with Left of the Dot, and the people who worked there. Beginnings Just over 9 years ago I joined a little company called Left of the Dot. I was introduced to the […]

Well, this morning marked the second day, and start of the first “real” week of work at my new job at Left of the Dot. So far so good, though not without some griping and minor failures on my part. The latter mostly came this morning. See, right now I have no shower (another long

Got in the office a bit late this morning (had to hit the bank) and found that the back half of the room with the scene laid out below. Seems a pipe burst on the floor above us and the back half of the office got flooded (and the travel agency on the floor under

Test of posting with a new app called LifeCast. I give it a 5/10 so far though. Things happening at work were just a false fire alarm, someone saw smoke in the elevator or something so everyone had to truck around the corner until the FD got there and cleared things up for everyone to

While today’s utter hell had nothing to do directly with the 6 hours of training in a small stuffy room with a guy talking really loud so one other guy at the other end of a conference call could hear, it certainly didn’t help. The painful migraine that started early noon-ish and continued until about

So after working for 1-3 years (depending on if you count mergers and acquisitions) and my previous job, I put in my notice and resigned, starting the next segment of the ArcterLife. I’m now an employee of Layer 7 as a “OS Developer”. L7 does interesting things with XML firewalls and gateways, and it is

Speaking as someone who spent four years in a Hell described as “Tech Support for Realtors” back in the days before the internet was big and before there were high speed connections (read: we were configuring modems for a big dial in BBS) I can surely agree that All Users Lie. It’s interesting that Heidi
