Work is good

Well, I've been at Bill Me Later now for 6 months. Things have been going very well and have been very busy. I recently got promoted to the team lead systems developer for one of our components of the real time authorization engine called PayCapture.

PayCapture provides a layer between all of our merchants and the actual authorization engine to help our merchants integrate easily. PayCapture provides many merchants the ability to skip having to integrate with a credit card payment processor since it takes care of all those pieces behind the scenes. PayCapture also provides web services for settlement, hosts dynamic and static web content using Akamai technologies.

Only 5 more layers of management before I take over the company. If my calculations are correct then that's only 2 1/2 more years until I get there...

2 weeks off at the beach

I recently finished up my longest vacation ever. I took 2 weeks off and went with Liz's family to Bethany beach Delaware. I had an awesome time and got to know Liz's side of the family a lot more cuz we all took turns making dinner for 40 people. It was a bit crazy, but it actually worked out pretty well because they do this every year and they're pretty good at it by now.

I went golfing with my father in law Tom and went took out some jetski's with Liz's cousin Kevin. Other then that we just enjoyed time relaxing on the beach, reading books, and eating. I certainly can't wait until next year.

There are lots more pictures posted on my site that I've uploaded recently, but here's a quick slide show view of our beach trip.
