Well, vacation is officially over.

This afternoon myself and our CTO are speaking at The Startup Project.  We’ll be covering what the company is about and how we are leveraging Amazon Web Services to get things done.

It should go well and hopefully I can steel my nerves enough to make it through my five minutes of the presentation without too much stammering and sweating!  This is such a seismic shift from my last job where I was largely invisible and the expectation was that I remain so; here in the past month I have attended a technology mixer where I spent time shaking hands and getting the word out (on the technical end) of what we are and how we are doing it to now speaking to a captive audience.  I’ll be more than happy, though, to slip back behind the command line and not be wrapped up in counting how many times I said “um” in a minute.

Wish me luck!
