The blog has changed again. For one thing, it’s no longer “Dan’s Jobless,” because I’m not — it’s “Dan’s at PHLX,” because that’s where I am: the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. I work for a small company called MP Capital (don’t bother looking them up; they don’t have a website). My job is, basically, to develop and program computer systems to make automated trading decisions. It’s interesting and challenging work, and on top of that I get to work in an office sitting right next to my best friend from high school, who just happens to be one of the only other employees there.
About the school administration software: that’s on hold now. Since I’ve just started this job, personal projects are going to have to be secondary until I’ve really gotten some solid work done and earned the right to relax a little. (My boss likes me and I don’t have any reason to be worried, but given the economic pits our country is in I’m taking nothing for granted and fully intend to actually work hard and earn my salary … at least for the time being!)
I promise, next time I update this blog, it will be with something actually interesting.

I am fascinated by your Namibia experience. I continue to be proud of your accomplishments. Your greatest one, however, was marrying Kathryn.
I hope both of you are well and prospering.
