I've got a new job
Normally I wouldn't blog about getting a new job, but this particular one has attributes which I think make it worthy of bringing this relatively inactive blog back to life. It's not the fact that I'll be using Delphi 2006 in a fulltime capacity. Nor is it the fact that there is an ECO project on the horizon. Sure, they are both very attractive attributes, but the best thing about this job is that I'll be working with a gentleman known on the Delphi newsgroups as "Scout".
Regulars to the borland.public.delphi.non-technical newsgroup will probably have read many of Scouts posts, which often revolve around a common theme. This theme is of the little guy battling the big guys (and winning) by using the power and productivity of Delphi. Below are a few of his posts :-
I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with someone who shares my passion for Delphi, and am relishing the challenges I will face as I enter what is a totally new application domain for me. And after meeting Scout in person, it seems that we share many of the same ideas in regards to application architectures and software development in general. Bring it on!

- I shipped my first BDS2006-built system
- My experience with ALM & Delphi
