h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Can't jolly well do that in the Zen Garden, so I came here instead.

Thank you, if I could just figure out the new smileys then I would be sending them your way, but from the world of Ascii [BIG HUG].

I didn't notice this posting otherwise I wouldn't have disturbed the quiet of the garden, but I'll tell you again. I'm trying to revive the Book Nook.

What do you think?

Sounds like a wonderful idea to me.

So, what have you been up to?

Well let's see.

I have gotten engaged, had the engagement broken up, and then gotten back together with the individual, but not engaged again.

I was working for Andersen of Enron fame, and helped write the forensic code that recaptured the deleted documents.

I am now contracting for Boeing.

I have learned JAVA, XML, and SOAP.

I have read a LOT of books, and I have missed this place. When Lil started talking about the future of the Ateleir on OTD, I had to try and do something, so I'm trying to make some time each day to drop in and enjoy the people and conversations.

What have you been up to? I know that you moved to Salt Lake City, was that a personal or professional choice? If you would like, I'm frieds with a guy that works for NextPage, based out of Lehi, I could let him know about you if you might be interested in a job.

As exciting as my life, then.

My engagement of almost 9 years disolved when I found out that he was sleeping with my best friend. My next relationship followed suit - with the obvious absense of engagement. I decided to move to SLC to start over again. So far, its going well in some ways and poorly in others, but I'm quite happy that I am surrounded by friends. The fact that all of them are male puts a bit of a damper on the thought of dating, but I'll survive that.

If NextPage is looking for people, I'd appreciate it a great deal if you'd tell them about me. That would be brilliant, as I wasn't really looking forward to working in the call center a block away. I can give you any info you need.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I've been coding conversion agents for a massive software conversion we will be doing.


I can't believe that the day before the conversion I'm being asked to add rules to the agents, do they think that an untested agent will work flawlessly on 50,000+ documents? Especially when some of the changes address security and access?


Gwen -

I totally understand where you are coming from. About 5 years ago, my engagement of 3 years dissolved when I found out that my fiance was sleeping with one of her previous boyfriends.

It sucks, I know, but I can tell you that it gets better. The friends are what really helps.

I have a family friend who lives in Utah, and I go out and visit SLC about 2 times a year, so I look forward to maybe meeting up with you and Marv the next time I am out that way.

I am still trying to get in touch with my friend at NextPage, I think he has been on vacation.

Well enough of being scattered, I really do apologize for not writting back sooner.

I hope all continues to go well, and if you EVER need someone to talk to, just send me an email. I don't know how much help I will be able to be, but sometimes it helps just knowing someone is out there and cares.
