A member of the OCLUG board of directors stepped down, due to time constraints. I have been appointed as a replacement until the election next April. I have been very impressed with the board's actions and initiatives in the past, so I'm looking forward to working with them.

After taking the summer off, I'm now working (my first job out of university). At the moment, I'm on a 3 month contract (with a possible extension) doing basic XML work. It's not what I want to do as a career but it feels wonderful to be working again, especially now that fall is here.
