branson — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:36:48 +0000

So I have been working for Raytheon For the last few months on a cool project in the ATOL. They were working under a contract called ConITS and had bid the next iteration called LITES. They lost and STG won the contract. The Program Manager is someone I have worked for before, Christine Matthews, and had great experience with. I am looking forward to talking to them Tuesday about the new Contract and opportunities.

So the I take the boys to work every other week to have lunch with me in the cafeteria. It’s a nice break for them and gives us some good bonding time. Today we were in there and were asked to be on NASA TV! They needed a spot about Bring your Kids to Work day. So they used us .. kinda cool! I’ll post the date and time and a vid if I get one here.

I spoke at UnixSig here at Langley yesterday about my use of SVN for maintaining common unix environments. Went well and I am putting my notes up here.

It’s a cool way to maintain your dotfiles and other unix-ish configuration among multiple hosts.

Kicked Facebook to the Curb

So I took the plunge. Facebook seemed like nice to keep up with some family, however, the trolling and lack of concern of the company for my privacy and such has lead me to kick it down the hatch. I won’t be looking back.

I also watched the shuttle launch today! Great launch! It’s nice to be back a part of the NASA family. Happy birthday Troy!
