Standing in the Field
Notes from SJS Application Server Field Engineering
Yeah, I know. Almost a month since my last post and a long time since I've been posting regularly. February was insane. In addition to just being a busy month in general, I took on a major project for my boss's boss that I knew I didn't have time for. Plus I was a speaker at CEC and had a huge amount of prep work for that. And then I got sick (probably from working the crazy schedule I was working).
But things are better now. Once I clear some backlog I have lots of stuff I want to post. But one thing caught my attention today that should be quick to post.
Tim Bray points out the benefits of blogging on your personal career. It made me laugh because it reminded me so much of Jonathan's talk at CEC.
Like many of Jonathan's talks, his opening line was: "Do you read my blog? You should.". His next comment (if I recall correctly) was encouraging the audience to blog. Immediately afterwards, he asks if John Clingan is in the audience. I've seen him do this multiple times now.
John is clearly a rock star. (Or techno celeb if you prefer Mary's terminology.)
When your boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss asks for you by name when walking into a crowd of thousands because of your celeb status, that has to be good for both your career and your job satisfaction.
I'll take it as a lesson learned and try to get back to blogging regularly. :-)
