New Day, New Job...New Blog?

Posted by Annalivia Tuesday, March 30, 2010

After a hiatus, the blog lurches back to life.

I was busy doing something unprecedented: relaxing! Then a couple weeks ago I started at my new job as Email Service Manager at Unica, the specifics of which is still somewhat undefined. I'll be working on the new Unica email service offering, helping grow it from the ground, on up. It's an exciting opportunity and I'm working with people I like a lot. The team is not completely staffed yet, so I'm waiting with bated breath to see who is hired next. Len Shneyder did an introductory interview with me, the first part of which was published today.

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with the blog at this point. Lots of things are changing in my life and everything is a bit upside down still. I imagine it will struggle a bit to regain some sort of identity as I settle into harness in this new world I'm in, but I do intend to keep it alive in some fashion! At the moment I am in soggy Boston, learning the ropes. I doubt y'all would be interested in basic SQL, so I will post something when I get home where my notes are, next week.

See you then!

  4. So how many Pern books did you manage to read before you started at Unica?

  6. Whoa! Hi, Jason! Thank you :)

    Mike: the first 3 plus one of the short story collection. I got sidetracked by Avatar - want to fly my own dragon!

  8. I have the whole series sitting on a shelf waiting for a re-read. At any rate glad to see you in a better place, looking forward to your future posts.

About Me

I'm Annalivia Ford, long time anti-spam expert. I've been in the profession of blocking the bad guys and helping to translate ISP requirements into language that senders can understand for nearly a decade now, though I got into fighting spam as an amateur 15 years ago. I now work for IBM, wrangling outbound email and doing my best to keep things sane.

About this blog: I started it when I worked for AOL, and since my departure from there I have been remiss about regular updates (part of the issue stems from my agreement with my current employer). I will continue to post here now and then and meanwhile I hope the archives continue to be useful and entertaining.

I do not in any way intend to speak for my employer, past or present. The content of this blog is either opinions that are strictly mine, general observations, or information that is already in the public domain.

Have you got a question? Perhaps an idea for a blog post? How about a million dollars to give to Barry? Feeling ranty? Or just want to say hello? Please Email me!

ID YOU FIND A TYPO?? PLEASE TELL ME! I'm serious.

In the banner is one of my dogs, Daisy. She's a tireless hunter. If you know me, you'll have heard about her! She keeps me company during work, and fondly imagines herself to be Very Helpful.
