That's great to hear! I'm doing well, married now with a 10 year old daughter 
Are you still in Ontario?
I hear you! I got the 3-year renewal notice for the domain, and I thought, I miss that site and board. So, I started digging through backups and here we are. I think I'm a few years behind though, the latest backup I found only went back to 2013.
I'm working on restoring the old site and will likely migrate the legacy content to a new platform. Then I have a few idea's in mind.

Congratulations to you and your wife! Yep, though I ended up moving to Toronto ~8 years ago.
Are you still out east? I was actually in PEI last year to visit some family.
New ideas eh? Curious to see what you have in store!

I wasn't sure how to contact you but in retrospect I think I may have you on LinkedIn. I'll definitely be going back in the future so I will let you know.
It's great. I grew up in a town for a few hundred, but I do slightly prefer city life. It's nice to have both though.
Are you still working for the government?

Oh I thought you had my personal email address. Sounds good!
Haha fair enough, I'll always be a small town guy. Yup still with the government, just passed the 15 year mark

Looks like I actually do. That's my bad. And you're not on LinkedIn, whoops 
Are you going to be a lifer do you think? I just passed 7 years and I'm not sure about it myself.

Yeah, I don't think I'd go anywhere at this point. I'm in a senior position and anything higher would be management and I don't really have any interest in that.
Where are you working now?

That's fair. The job market in tech right now isn't great either.
I'm at CBC. I lead two different teams so I'm softly in management but most of my work is still centered around technology. It's a good balance between the two for me right now though I could see going back into a purely production role in the future. I miss programming some days.
Do you ever come out to Ontario?

Oh, that's awesome!
I haven't been out that way in years. Last time was to Montreal for a concert, my brother lived in TO for a while while he was in college, so I was able to stay with him a few times.
