Da Vincent's Code Lauches

That's it!

I've made the leap. I launched my blog. On November 4th 2008. Today.

The biggest challenge I will face will be maintaining a regular posting schedule. I will do my best to post at least once a week, and maybe twice.

The launch date, however, was not randomly chosen.

November 4th is a day that resonates with me both historically, personally and professionally.

Historically, today is U.S. election day. And surprisingly enough, one candidate was "endorsed" both by the Wall Street Journal and Hugo Chavez. Which, in itself, is quite a feat, no matter what the result of the election is.

Personally, today is the birthday of my wife.

And professionally, November 4th is a day that I came to name "diem horribilis". The kind of stuff that could show up in The Daily WTF. A few years ago, I was working for a small company that was selling QoS (Quality of Service) solutions to Voice-over-Ip (VoIP) providers. On that day, while the lead developer was on vacations, *ALL* our current customers called with *differrent* *critical* issues. All three of them. All different countries, all different isuues, all different versions of the software. I was expected home early, with a dinner to cook. Stressfull day. We made everyone happy, but this day is still known today as The Horrible day.

So the blog is launched.

Over the next few weeks, I will try to cover a little more of my profile, interest and current work.

If you are in the US, enjoy election day!
