I'm doing well. I'm actually on vacation visiting my parents' place right now so it's nostalgic posting here again where it all started haha
How about you?

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!

Thanks! Yup, we are still in PEI, you should have looked me up!
How do you like living in the city?

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.

Ah that's too bad. If you ever end up in Toronto let me know and I'll buy you a beer
