Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Where has JamesNT been?

Bert asked this question recently in an ongoing thread that I have been following with great interest. He does, however, ask a legitimate question: Where have I been?

The last 10 months have been interesting to say the least. Here is a recap in as few words as possible:

* My sister passed away 4 days before her 39th birthday in June, 2014.

* After 10 years of service, I left Professional Data Management, Inc., the billing center I used to work for, and began work at the Corning Fiber Optics facility here in Wilmington as a Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse Developer.

* The last three months of 2014 and the first two months of 2015 were spent with the shingles covering the entire right side of my face. Since this forum is crawling with doctors, I shouldn't have to say anything more save that I don't care how many small animals you have to sacrifice, and I don't care what dark alter you sacrifice them on, whatever you do, do NOT get the shingles.

* I changed jobs again last month. I now work as an Infrastructure, Development, and Data engineer at General Electric. I now help build systems to monitor nuclear reactors.

As everyone can see, it's been a busy past 10 or so months. However, once I get settled in at GE a bit more, I'll be around again. I've already started posting again on my blog at www.jamessummerlin.com. I've also recently installed three Dell R710 rack mount servers in my house for my private test lab. Once they are done with their current task, which should be soon, I should have something to say about AC's unfortunate performance issues.

Thank you all for you patience. I'll be back.
