New Job. Same Wessty.
I’ll be honest; this isn’t the big announcement I was intending to release a few weeks ago. The tides have changed with respect to my professional life. I figure I would take some time and explain my new situation.
New Job = User Experience Developer
As of about three weeks ago, ANVIL Digital decided to give me the opportunity to focus my efforts on my real passion in Computer Science: the user experience. The new job is very exciting and has involved a lot of work on my part to get UX data and results for our software in the short term, while defining new development processes that involve more UX input. It’s a lot of work, but I am truly enjoying myself. It’s not everyday that you get assigned solely to the work you love.
On top of that, I have been getting much more involved with the Winnipeg .NET community through the user groups. Not only have I been working with D’Arcy Lussier on the new Silverlight User Group, but I have starting to get involved with the Winnipeg .NET User Group as well. I hope to be taking a role with them in the upcoming months. I will be sure to keep you all posted.
Same Wessty
Although the winds of change have swept the lands of Wesstyware, I am still the same Wessty that you all know and love. The difference is that I will be reprioritizing my personal projects a bit and probably be discussing UX a little more often on my blog.
With that in mind, my plan is to breathe some life back into this blog and update the content. As opposed to publishing a substandard web site, I figure I will coast along with what I have until I have the proper time to develop what I have in mind. Although, just because I’m making do with what I have doesn’t mean that things aren’t going to get better.
Blog Updates
Over the next few weeks, I will be making some organizational changes to the blog. To be more specific, I am going to be cleaning up the categories for the posts, adding some pages, and limiting the comments on my posts to about 30 days. I am continuing to get great comments from people and I appreciate them, but I am finding it difficult keeping up with responding to people, especially on the older posts.
Realize that enjoy the comments and all the feedback and I hope that people keep them up with the new date cap on how long people can comment on my posts. Still, keep commenting on upcoming posts. If you want to comment on older posts drop me a line through the contact page or add me to Twitter (@Wessty) and send me a message. I’m pretty active in the “Twitterverse”, and would be happy to hear from everyone.
As I grow more comfortable in my new shoes at ANVIL, I hope to find the time to continue my work and discuss here soon. In the meantime though…
Catch you on the flip side.
