Welcome to my Blog – PepperDust. Its a fashionably late arrival to the Blogosphere where I hope to make somewhat regular posts on whats going on in my technical life as a software engineer. The current flavor of the day is everything middleware (i.e. SOA, Web Services, CORBA, J2EE) and also lately some Ruby and Ruby on Rails. In the past I’ve worked on OSS Telecom Management Software and prior to that Win32, MFC and VB applications. I’ll keep this first post short and sweet but it feels good to get this Blog started. Stay tuned!
