I Skipped October For Tax Purposes

Nah! I’m just kidding. I skipped October because I was (and remain) ridiculously busy. I’m a hive of activity and that makes me happy. I do, however, miss writing. I love to write and I love to be read. I can just see you people out there loading up Mobodojo to see what pearls of vaguely insane conceptualization I’ve managed to dig up this time. I admit I don’t write about gadgets much any more, but its not because I have stopped loving them, its just that things shift and move and migrate.

We lost a car and we gained a car. My daughter is in a better place and my wife is going through some more trials. I’ve been working hard and learning more. I don’t know if this can count for better, but I do know that things which should have been in place a long time ago are just now starting to fall into place now. I really hate having to rely on others in some cases. I won’t go any further than that.

Anyway, I’ve got some news to pass along. I’ve opened up a new site, a messageboard to be exact, called MSPBoards. I work in the MSP industry and there is a lack of any real community around this surprisingly large and diverse global industry. If you work (what insiders call living and breathing) managed services, drop on by and join up. I’ve also started up a tiny little blog for some transient fiction I like to pop out here and there.

Its rough having this hugely complex life and being a technologist and professional writer, but not feeling like you can set aside the time to make your dream come true. Since I was six and wrote my first piece of fiction, I wanted to be a science fiction author. I’m 41 now and I’ve worked on over 250 technical titles. That’s not bad, you say. Not one of them is fiction, which I suppose the readers appreciate! HA!
