Quick poker thought
May 31st, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
I’ve watched too much poker on television in the last month while I’ve been unemployed. I realized how bad it was this afternoon while watching the latest episode of The World Poker Tour. I’m recognizing dealers now. It’s not just that the Bellagio will use the same dealers on all WPT final tables for TV, but also on any other TV show that tapes at the casino.
The good news is, I found a new job and it starts on Wednesday. Those dealers will then be forgotten again.

No more Cheez-Its and “Yes, Dear” reruns? Bummer. But gratz on the new employment!
Doing .NET programming? ;-P

Phil - I’ll be doing some Perl, some UNIX shell scripting, some SQL, and possibly some HTML stuff.
Matthew - Staying away from both .NET and Java. There is hope for the tech world, after all!
Paul - Thanks, kindly, sir. I really want this one to work out. There’s a lot of stuff in this job that I’m excited about using.
