  • Back in business... but I need your input!

    It has been quite a while since my last post to my blog. For the past several months, I had been working on an internal project with Microsoft that has kept me very busy.  That said, the past month has also proved to be very interesting for me. I decided to move back to sunny Charleston, South Carolina.  My management has been very supportive in this decision. I am currently working from my home in Ladson, South Carolina.  For those of you familiar with the area, you might recognize this as being right next door to North Charleston, South Carolina -- the 7th most dangerous city in the country according to FBI crime statistics. You might also recognize this as being very close to the data center that Google is building in Moncks Corner, SC.  I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if Microsoft is going to build a competing data center down here. The mere presence of a Microsoft employee down here seems to stir many rumors. Let me put those rumors to rest.  I am here on my own and as far as I know, Microsoft has no plans to build anything here. Had Microsoft not allowed me to work from here, I would no longer be working for Microsoft.
