Ending the drought...

Its been a month since I posted anything on my BLOG, cannot let May end with a drought. It has been rather a trying month for me, the reasons I am saving for a later melodramatic post ;-)...

Right now I am very happy. At the company I currently work at, we released out a JMS architecture with minimal hiccups. It was very gratifying to witness the entire team involved work and mesh so well in order to make the architecture work. Everyone from Architects, Developers, System Administrators, Testers worked so well together. I must state that my level of confidence in the team and players involved was so much that I did not even have to be there during the go live in person. Put it in a word, my current organization is so much about "WE" and not "ME". That is a motto that works IMHO. Guess my current organization is very talented in its selection process of the people they want on board.

I truly enjoyed working with all the folks on the various facets involving the deployment of the architecture, frameworks, deployment, projects etc. We suffered a few hiccups after the deploy as well but the messaging solution itself was 100% solid. In fact in my own retarded way, I appreciated the fact that the failures occurred as they served to demonstrate that the failure path in fact worked ;-)

Personally, I have experienced considerable growth in the areas of JMS Messaging. However, every once so often I again am humbled by what I don't know or did not anticipate.

The project as a whole was like our baby that finally saw the light..and danced on...I hope it keeps dancing :-))))))))))) Even if does not, I believe we have a team strong enough to put it on crutches to make it so...

I can't wait for further adoption of the architecture...so thrilled, had a blast...

More BLOG's coming up soon, the little GREY cells were on vacation (not dead, just vacationing), you should see something from them soon....
