I should have posted this news earlier, like when I accepted a job offer three weeks ago, but I've been busy - so technically this is old news.
With two weeks spent at a new job it's official - I'm off the bench and back to work.
It was an interesting job search. The market for .Net developers seems to be very good (I can't speak for other programming disciplines).
The new company's core business is Olympic Games hospitality. I get to work in a mansion 11 miles from home. I make two turns - right turn out of my driveway and a left turn into work. And in the summer of 2008 I'll spend at least 8 weeks in China for the Beijing games.
Cool stuff. Very cool.
Peace out.
