There has been a ton going on in my life, so much so that I haven’t had much time to get over here and post about any of it. So what is all this stuff?

Well, I made some major headway in the last couple months on a decent sized project I’ve been working on for the Jesus Film Project. I am in the processing of taking their Oracle 9i database running on Windows and moving it to 10g on Linux, while at the same time splitting it into 4 databases, for various functions.

I’ve also finalized all the paperwork and had official approval of my move from ITG to GTO. This is all within Crusade, and in fact I only move physically a few cubicle rows over. But for me it means a huge shift in what I do at work. Well- huge but still IT related. Instead of being a full time Oracle DBA, I will be doing all kinds of work to support our staff over seas. I will get to play with a lot of Open Source web technologies and I am very, very excited about that.

Then there is the normal life stuff. Family is the biggest of course and I’m very blessed to have a beautiful wife and kids at home. As the children grow it is awesome to see themselves become more and more their own person. Very neat.

I’ll have more details on the stuff above soon.
