This week I started work at Manta, where I'll be doing some web development with Perl. It's interesting so far; most places in the Columbus, OH area are Microsoft/.NET shops, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it's nice to have a change of pace.
Fortunately, the office is really close to my apartment -- with the car in the shop, sometimes walking is the only option. This, however, has made it very apparent that the entire Polaris area is completely unsuitable for pedestrian travel; there are absolutely no sidewalks in the 1.5 mile stretch of modern, developed urban sprawl between work and home. I wonder how practical it would be to sue the city of Columbus for not accommodating my mode of transportation and posing the risk of my death on a daily basis.
I've started working on my 5-year-old Screenie project again, trying to bring it into the modern age; there have been a number of screen capture and/or screencast applications popping up recently, so I figured I might bring my own stuff back into the realm of competition. Expect fancy features like customizable workflows and Twitter integration, since, you know, everything has to have Twitter integration now.
Hopefully, I'll start updating this blog a bit more now that I'm working in the web field again.
