Most of you probably do not yet know but I have resigned from Tatto Media and have moved back to Namespace, Inc.. While I am under a confidentiality agreement I cannot state what I was working on at Tatto Media however what I can say is that I was working with the latest technologies such as CakePHP, JQuery, CSS, etc to work on the products that Tatto Media has to offer. Since I have moved back to Namespace Inc I have been reading up on a completely new framework. Most of you are probably thinking oh another PHP framework under your belt… That’s not the case at all. The new framework that we are using is a Java based framework called Wicket.

So far Wicket seems to be a very nice web framework and Java is very appealing to me from a developers standpoint. I guess the good part is that PHP is based on Java quite a bit so picking up the language has been rather easy. I have also applied for an editor account on Wicket by Example so you will find anything I write about Wicket on that site. I may or may not publish the articles on this site as well I am just not sure yet. Regardless I will post something here stating that a new example or article has been posted by me.

If you know me and are reading this then you know that I am not racist or anything like that. My sympathies go out to all of the families and victims in Haiti. Now that I have said that I also want to state that my thoughts and feelings are in no way associated with Haiti.

The things I do not understand is when we go to war and bomb a country we spend a ton of money building back the city we destroyed. Why does America take on this financial position when we are already so far in debt to China? Why are we providing aid to other countries when things like earthquakes, tsunami’s etc take place? I am not saying that we should not be helping but where is all of this money coming from? Are we going further and further into debt doing this? Is the US getting aid from other countries when things like this happen? What are the odds that China will buy more of our debt or that the debt will just go away?

Isn’t it time to get our country out of debt before we go deeper and deeper into debt?

Again none of this is directed at the latest act of god but really how are we ever going to get out of debt?

Over the last few months I have been working at Tatto Media as a Software Engineer. Unfortunately things were not working out too well and I had to provide them with my resignation. I was able to work with some extremely talented people from several different departments and I will miss working with them. Starting tomorrow however I will be working with the team at Namespace. I have missed working with this small team of people. I am not sure what they will have me working on however I am sure that it will be interesting.
