Anniversaries

On December 30, 2006, in Misc, by Mitch Milam

Greetings Everyone,

I have two anniversaries to celebrate in the next few days:

1) My blog is one year old today.

I posted my first article, exactly 12 months ago, today.  It has been very interesting and exciting to meet people from around the world who work with the same systems that I do, and who encounter many of the same problems.  I have learned a tremendous amount from other people's blogs over the past couple of years and I hope that some of my information has been valuable to others as well.

 

2) On January 4th, I will have been in the computer business for 23 years.

While in college, I went to work for a small firm that sold computer hardware and software and while I was obtaining an education that would allow me to become an IBM mainframe COBOL programmer, I was also figuring out how "those PC things actually worked."  Needless to say, I never wrote a line of production COBOL code and I'm pretty sure the world continued to spin happily around its axis without ever realizing something was amiss. ;)

 

It is a great time to be in the computer industry and I think 2007 will be filled with both promise and excitement.

 

Have a happy and safe New Year.

Mitch

    Congratulations, Mitch, on both your Bloggiversary and your up-coming IT Anniversary.

    Trust me, you have not missed a thing by NOT coding COBOL! ;-)

    I hope that you are right about 2007 . . . may the Gods of Computing smile upon you and all of your efforts and may your projects be completed and paid for before the Gremlins find them. ;-)
