So my last post was a number of months ago about setting up iTunes streaming from home for work listening. Well it turns out that hasn’t been all that necessary. It’s been much more productive for me to be at my company’s office in order to work closely with our programmers instead of at the client site.
As a result of this, I’ve been using my MacBook Pro laptop for work. It’s allowed me to be far more productive. I still use Microsoft office for viewing most files. And I do have to still use windows in VMware Fusion to connect back to my Govt. Citrix connection as a VPN. There is a Mac client and it should work, but there are issues with CAC authentication still when it’s not just a website.
For database development, I’ve been using a trial of dbVisualizer. In my mind it’s far superior to SQL Management Studio and is actually cross-platform. I will be trying to move my company over to that for some of our users.
When I started taking classes at CWU right after I got out of the army, it was as a Computer Science major. I never completed my degree for various reasons but a big one was that I never really wanted to code full time. As it turns out a huge part of my career now is SQL coding. Hindsight is always 20/20 isn’t it?
