New Gig at Secure Passage

So I was at Sprint for 6 months, I tried to post something about it here, but was asked by my manager the next day to take it down. Creepy, eh? Anyway, my contract was up for extension, and it went down something like this.

I was told I'd be extended, cool. We were told all the projects were cancelled, great. We were told no contractors would be extended, super. I found another job, nice. Just a couple days before my last day I was told the project where re-instated, and asked if I wanted to stay, totally awesome.

I might have considered staying, but I just happened to find one of the coolest places to work in KC. Secure Passage writes Firewall Monitoring software. They've got a mix of technologies, but it seems like the main direction is to move towards Java.

Anyway, it's a small shop, about 7 developers. It's very much a get things done type of atomosphere, which I miss from the good ole Bensoft days. And best of all I get to dress casual all week. Woohoo!

I've been here for about a month. So far I'm having lots of fun.

Dude, congrats! You've been talking about getting into more into security for years; it's where it's at. Tomorrow will be my last day at the #1 Brewery in the US..maybe soon to be world. I got tired on the contract gig as well, it's too unstable in todays economy. Not to mention the merger talks has got the STL area in a panic. I'm going to be headed over to a financial company as a perm employee, they recruited me pretty hard.

Too bad I had to give your new company the thumbs down in favor of a competitive product.
