So for a while I tried to have two persona’s the one “mitcheru.com” and the other “mitchellgeere.com”. I created “mitcheru” so that I could rant, or rave about things and “mitchellgeere” as a more professional blog relating to industry matters.
I have however decided that due to my lack of time to manage even one blog that I will amalgamate them back to one blog and keep it clean. Also joining the two gave me some material to blog about quickly. I know riveting stuff right.
Now in more news my aspirations to move to New York are still there and with such force, however I have come to realize that initially I may have to settle for Miami, Seattle, or somewhere in California. Neither one of the options are terrible at all in fact given the right job or opportunity they would be amazing! However if you have ever been to New York you will know what I mean nothing but nothing comes close to that city. I literally fell in love with the city.
The other things going on in my life is I am facing a cross road where I need to make a decision between sticking with Microsoft with their - in my opinion awesome - .net platform and the C# language and on the other hand Apple and coding then in Ruby and again the amazing Rails platform. I have had a long standing like/hate relationship with Microsoft, and a long standing love relationship with Apple. Learning a new language and platform isn’t really a big deal for me I have done it a million times, however I have always maintained working on Windows as my operating system. This will be a massive change for me because I have only ever done say a ratio 1:30 hours on a mac versus pc. So I decided that I will sink my teeth into rails – have already set myself up with all the material and my server can host rails already - and perhaps kick off one of my hobby projects in ruby on rails. All aboard!
