What a Difference a Month Makes
Posted: March 23, 2010 Filed under: musing 13 CommentsIts March 22. Exactly one month ago, I came back from few days spent in Colorado. I gave presentations, met amazing people, enjoyed skiing and drank a lot of beer, wine and whiskey. I also barely made it back, but that’s a different story.
Obviously I drank too much, or maybe I gave too many presentations. I don’t remember.
What I do know is that in the month since that eventful weekend, my life has taken a sharp turn.
I’m about to start working for Pythian. There will be a separate post about that, where I explain how amazing Pythian is and how to continue to follow my blog once it is merged with the official Pythian blog. Same hypothetical blog post will also include comments about how much I love my current colleagues and how sorry I am to leave them.
But more important – I’m now an Oakie. Seriously. Check it out 🙂 Can you tell I’m stoked?
This is not really a blog post, more of a tweet really. But I had to share the news.
Chen,
Many congratulations for getting selected in OakTable.
& oh yes…congrats for joining Pythian too !!!
Cheers !
Wow! Many congratulations, Chen, on both accounts.

Congratulations for making into Oak Table.
Wow, excellent news! Congratulations on both accounts!
Double congratulations, Chen!
You must be really excited; good luck at Pythian.
Nice one, Chen/Gwen
Stoked? oh yeah! 🙂
Congratulations and good luck.
May you walk with sunlight shining
And a bluebird in every tree;
May there be a silver lining
Back of every cloud you see.
May you keep on blogging at Pythian
And sharing your knowledge for free;
May there be an easy solution
For each Oracle error you see.
Iggy
Congratulations on both the new job and your Oaktable membership! That’s wonderful news. Will you be moving to Canada as well?
@Iggy
Thanks for the poem. Its really sweet of you 🙂
@Rob
I’m staying in California for now. Pythian is a remote DBA company, and California is just as remote as Canada.

Congrats to you and congrats to Pythian!
