How to be an Unhappy Employee

This may be a bit premature, but I had to ask. Admittedly, I joined the Podcasting bandwagon late, but I’ve been disappointed at the waning support of some of my favorites. It seems that I am uncovering the weakness in the Podcast. I’m sure that someone has already covered this somewhere, but I’ll do it again if that is the case.

The problem is that amateurs are charged with coming up with something creative to say and then actually produce the product. If you search through the podcasts on iTunes you’ll see what I’m talking about; ProPHP Podcast hasn’t been updated since November and half of the other Podcasts I listen to have been reduced to 2-3 minutes of crap.

Oh well, I guess I’ll just be looking for new favorites.

I’m finally back to the blog, but it has been a crazy kick-off to 2006. I had high-hopes for this blog this year, but the ten topics I had in mind have all slipped my mind now. So I guess I’ll just give a quick update. My good friend and senior developer Chris Cowan deserted me this year for what he thinks is a great job at a great company; some little shit-stop you probably never heard of … I think it’s called … Yahoo! Seriously, congrats to Chris and good luck.

As a result, I am looking for a great PHP programmer with vision. You can [email](mailto:steve@swedler.com “My Email”) me if you are interested in the job.

I’ve been busy wrapping up with Chris at work, but now I hope that this year is a prosperous one for all of you, and I will promise to be more on top of this blog now that things have slowed down.

Sorry for the lack of posts on this site, but I’ve been on holiday break from work and I am leaving for Disneyland in the morning. I know I’m in jeopardy of losing the 6 1/3 readers that I have, but oh well … family first! Happy New Year!
