I am readjusting to a much busier schedule recently, with the start this week of a new full-time contract as Network Architect for IHOP. It’s primarily a hands-on, non-management infrastructure role with many familiar technologies like Cisco networking, VMware ESX, Active Directory and so on. Not sure yet how Freedom Systems consulting will fare but would like to leverage our recent Cisco Select Partner certification.

Am still keeping an eye on the Cloud, but by necessity my focus has returned to nuts and bolts infrastructure for the time being.
