My Update (Me being Jason Delmore) :)

A few people have asked what I have been up to and I thought there may be others wondering what I am up to at the moment and what I plan on doing next. If you don't care, feel free to stop reading. :)

As many of you may know, I was among the 600 folks recently laid off with the mass layoff at Adobe. My last official day as an Adobe employee was December 15th.

My first day on-site of a new client as an independent contractor... was December 16th. :)

I absolutely loved my old job. It always felt like I was making some contribution to thousands of ColdFusion projects out there. (Whether or not that's true, it always felt that way.) However, now that I am out of that role, I can tell you I feel relieved, refreshed, and ready to take on whatever comes next. I can also say that I missed getting my hands dirty and just coding. Writing code can be a lot of fun.

Anyhow, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am back at it and will hopefully be posting some more projects and interesting information on my blog. It might even be easier to post things now that I don't have to worry about my comments being construed as coming from Adobe. And, since I am actually coding full-time, I can spend some more time working on open source projects.

Back to my coding for now.

Best wishes and have a Happy New Year!
Jason

Charlie Arehart's Gravatar Very good to hear of your landing on your feet, and of course to continue to hear of your upbeat sentiments about the whole thing. That's got to help, especially in the midst of the holidays. Here's to a great new year for you.
