I'm Back

back online posting after more than a year of silence. Not that I blogged much before but I guess I may do a little more this time. A lot happened since my last public appearance: we moved to the U.S.; had two very nice vacations (one winter-time in New Hampshire skiing for the first time in my life and one spring-time in California where my family joined me on my business trip to eBay); finally decided and put on dental braces; watched my 5 years old learning how to ride a bicycle - he did it so well I now barely can keep up running when he rides; helped one big offshore team to release quite sizable and a pretty crazy project to production and by doing so wrote more code than I did in two years before that; got pretty tired mentally of helping that team sustaining that crazy project in production so started learning how to paint and amazingly for myself did pretty good at it; decided to finally pass the PMI PMP and now look forward to do so as soon as I'm done refreshing my memory around PMBOK; received my first ever tax return; and got lucky with my 4th submission to DV lottery.... last but not the least - we're now expecting our 2d baby. wow...
