That wonderful lounge 1999

I'm at Web99, hanging out in the online lounge. Very cool space. I've never coded from a beanbag chair before. Not exactly ergonomic, but fun.

The main part of the day was devoted to coordinating things in the volunteer office. Nice bunch of people. So far this is shaping up to be a pretty excellent convention. I'm looking forward to the sessions I'll be attending.

I expect to spend a large proportion of my time "networking" in an effort to get my card and my resume under the right nose. I'm looking for a contract position doing web project management and/or user experience/interface design. I'm now working through SoftDevices International, a web-enabled process management software company which also provides services such as web site development and process modeling. This is an exciting change for me because I'm ready to start pushing my career forward and the whole gray area of translating undefined user needs into powerful webtools is exactly the territory I want to head for.

Well, enough of this beanbag action, I'm heading out into the wide world before my back starts to complain too much.
