Hi blog, its me Jay

It has been quite awhile since we last spoke. Life has a way of being busy, when you have a one year old, you are selling a house, working at a new job, searching for homes in another state and preparing to move 1500 miles away.

With that said, lets get back to it. Where was I.... oh yes, Tapestry.

I am currently trying to figure out how to pop-up a window after a form submission. Sounds easy enough but its implementation is proving to be very elusive.

Since our last chat many positive things have been accomplished. We have confluence and jira installed and integrated. The dev team is slowly getting acclimated to making jira and confluence a part of their daily processes. We have stand-up meetings every morning. We have a new colo of servers, consisting of 10 new machines, dedicated to serving pixels. We recently got approval to treat the conversion of our existing project to a maven project, as a production task rather then a dev task. Thats a big win and will be the trailblazer for future requests.

All in all I still like my job. Its a good company with good people. It has the typical small-company issues but also the typical entrepreneurial spirit.

I will try to write more often, I promise.
