Maiden Voyage

I've been working at Monetology, an 8-person startup, for about 6 months now.  Its been a great experience in many ways and I'm learning a lot about running systems "in the real world."  I started down that road during my time at Google, but unfortunately our project was cancelled mere weeks before we were scheduled to go live[1] so I missed out on the most exciting stuff.

But now with Monetology I've been able to pick up and learn a bunch of new technologies, and as we move closer to a product launch I'm looking forward to the on-the-job experience that comes from running a live service.  I'll try to capture a few of these discoveries and lessons here.

So I think its time to start one of these "web-logs" that I've been hearing so much about...

[1] As it happens, the entire Atlanta engineering office was closed.  But that's a story for another time...
