Happy New Year!

Jan 01, 2012

It's a new year, and things are changing. I've moved from Change.org over to CrowdFlower where I'll be heading up the web operations team. This past year was a bit of a roller coaster ride going from TWiT to Change.org to CrowdFlower, but I don't regret any of it, feel like each move was a step forward, met some great people along the way, and I'm excited for the year ahead with CrowdFlower.

Speaking of web operations, I feel a little guilty that my personal sites are still hosted on a Fedora 9 Linode instance (even after 795 days of uptime) and as I move over to a new Ubuntu 10.04 instance provisioned with Chef, I'm also dumping WordPress for Jekyll (again) with a little simpler site design.

I hope the new infastructure will encourage me to write a bit more, particularly some thoughts on the philosphy of and tools related to "DevOps".
