(2012-02-09) New Job, New Role And Definitely New Interesting Challenges

Posted by Jorge on 2012-02-09

After being contacted by a previous colleague of mine that I worked with about 7 or 8 years ago at CMG/LogicaCMG, he offered me a very interesting, challenging and cool position at the company he is working for at the moment. From a role and ambition perspective, this was just an offer I could not resist. With that in mind I can tell you that I’m very excited to embrace my new interesting challenge at a new company/employer. Therefore after working for more than 3,5 years for Oxford Computer Group (OCG) (http://oxfordcomputergroup.com/) as a Senior Consultant, as of march 1st 2012 I’m joining Valid B.V. (http://www.valid.nl/) in the role of Principal Consultant Infrastructure Services.

Nice! Smile

Cheers,
Jorge

(2011-09-04) Blog Migrated To WordPress

Posted by Jorge on 2011-09-04

I have been quiet for a while as blogged before, but that’s due to the work on the house we bought 6 months ago and in addition the complete migration of the contents of my OLD BLOG LOCATION to my NEW BLOG LOCATION. The old blog is based upon an old version of community server and the new blog is based upon WordPress. I decided to move/migrate because I think that WordPress has more interesting features for me compared to the old version of community server.

To summarize it all:

Blog Name	Jorge’s Quest For Knowledge
OLD Blog URL	http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/default.aspx
NEW Blog URL	http://jorgequestforknowledge.wordpress.com/
NEW Blog RSS Feed URL	http://jorgequestforknowledge.wordpress.com/feed/
Content	*ALL* content has been migrated to the new blog

My suggestion is to update your favorites/bookmarks to use the new URL and please also update the RSS feed URL. If you reference my blog on your personal blog, please update the URL to match the new URL.

You can even sign-up to the new blog if you would like to. For that go to the new blog and provide your mail address and hit the "Sign Me Up Now!" button.

Thanks!

(2011-06-14) Oh My Blog – How Much I Have Neglected You!

Posted by Jorge on 2011-06-14

I think this is the very first time I have not blogged for such as very long time. I have really been very very very very busy, especially at home with private stuff. Becoming and being a dad and husband, selling a house, buying a house, moving into the new house, working on the new house and having a daytime job is something I do not recommend anyone in doing all at once. There’s just too much stuff going on at the same time. Do I regret it? Heck no! We are happy with the choices we made.

Well, the next few days and after that I hope to get back on track with my blog. In addition to blogging about the technical stuff I work on I will also blog about FREE tools that I found on the internet that might be interesting for the IT Pro to check out.

REMARK: If you have a topic you would like me to blog about, then feel free to tell me that through the contact form of my blog. Click HERE for that. I do want to make clear that I cannot promise anything and that I will do my best to blog about it
