New Bosses

I for­got to men­tion another piece of news earlier: The com­pany I work for Sx3 has just been acquired by Northg­ate Inform­a­tion Solu­tions. Though I don’t really know enough about either com­pany to make a proper judge­ment, it seems to be gen­er­ally con­sidered a good move: being run by an IT com­pany rather than a util­it­ies com­pany should be a much bet­ter fit.
I am par­tic­u­larly taken by the com­pany val­ues. They fit very well with my own.
