I am a web developer. I develop web sites, the code behind them, and most technical aspects associated with interactions on the web. I am concerned primarily about function, speed, efficiency and usability.

This week, one of my co-workers began working on a ticket that I had started. The situation involved an ASP.NET script, a stored procedure, and CSV and Database data sources. It was a fairly complicated issue that involved a 3rd party - they supplied the CSV file. It turns out that they had changed the formatting of the CSV file, which botched up our import script quite thoroughly.

I'm at work, but I'm not at work. I'm sitting in the Public Safety building, in a meeting room, with other essential staff. Certain public offices, like Public Health and the County Clerk, have a skeleton crew occupying a couple of seats. Computers and phones are set up where they're neccessary, and people come and go like it's business as usual.

My new year's resolution is to switch to Linux - specifically one of the Ubuntu variants. I'm sick of using Windows and supporting Microsoft in it's efforts to remove the rights of it's users. Linux can (technically) do absolutely anything I need it to do, the trick is getting from here to there.

One of the perks of my job is the flexible schedule that goes along with it - I come in around ten, and nobody minds too much if I'm a couple (20) minutes late as long as I make up the time somewhere else.
