+The first day at the new gig went like any first day normally does.
+Paper-work and meeting lots of new folks. The office is in a part of
+town where I used to live, so I know it fairly well. This is a repeating
+theme, since the HP office was near my high school.
+
+Since I got into the office early, I was able to swing one of my
+favorite coffee houses. While the customer base has changed a bit from
+20 years ago (more suits and no nose-rings) and the menu has a bit more
+on it (beer, anyone?), the coffee drinks were the same, and they tasted
+as good as I remember.
+
+The picture is of the old street sign post on the corner of the
+property.

+Growing up in Houston, I have followed our space program off and on. I
+am also a big reader of Sci-Fi. So, when I heard about the [Solar Sail
+Kickstarter
+Project](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theplanetarysociety/lightsail-a-revolutionary-solar-sailing-spacecraft/description)
+from [The Planetary Society](http://www.planetary.org/), I jumped on
+board. And, while they have raised almost 4 times their goal, I think
+that this is a project which will have more of an impact on humanity
+than some of the other projects.
+
+So, join me in backing them!

+Well, after 4 years (almost to the day), it is time for me to say
+good-bye to HP. The team I worked on is a great team who really know
+their stuff. However, I am a geek, and I want to be doing things with
+tech, and not talking about tech, and for the most part, talking is all
+I have been doing. I have learned a lot and was given a chance to do
+some [traveling \<travels\>]{role="doc"} which I do not think I would
+have been able to do.
+
+So, where am I going? Well, until after I start and get on-boarded, I am
+not sure how much I can say. It is a financial company based in Houston,
+so I will not be moving the crew, just changing the direction I commute
+back to into the sun again.
+
+Stay tuned here for more updates, and I will probably be using this as a
+place to document some of the new things I learn on the way.
+
+Peace.

+So, with the [migration of the AUR to version 4](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#AUR_4), I looked at the 12 AUR packages I had created over the years which I have not looked at in a long, long time.
+
+The list started out with:
+
+-   [chronicle](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chronicle/) - A simple
+    blog compiler written in Perl
+-   [perl-leocharre-basename](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-basename/) -
+    Very basic filename string and path operations such as ext and paths
+-   [perl-leocharre-cli2](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-cli2/) -
+    Some quick help for writing cli scripts
+-   [perl-leocharre-debug](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-debug/) -
+    Debug subroutines
+-   [perl-leocharre-dir](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-dir/) -
+    Subroutines for general directory needs
+-   [perl-leocharre-strings](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-strings/) -
+    Combines string procedures I frequently use
+-   [perl-string-prettify](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-string-prettify/) -
+    Subroutines to cleanup a filename and or garble for human eyes
+-   [perl-wordpress-api](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-api/) -
+    Management of Wordpress API objects. Inherits WordPress::XMLRPC and
+    all its methods
+-   [perl-wordpress-cli](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-cli/) -
+    Command line access to Wordpress
+-   [perl-wordpress-xmlrpc](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-xmlrpc/) -
+    API to Wordpress XML RPC calls
+-   [usbmount](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/usbmount/) -
+    Automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices
+-   [xlhttp](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xlhtml/) - An Excel
+    spreadsheet (.xls) and PowerPoint (.ppt) to HTML converter
+
+In the end, I only kept *xlhttp* as I do not use the others anymore.  Surprisingly enough, only one of the packages (*chronicle*) was out of date. I disowned all the others, so if you want, you can pick them up.

+Once more, off the Las Vegas for to work a trade show. This year, I was
+helping present training, so I was tucked away in a basement most of the
+trip, and did not get out to do much in the way of sight-seeing aside
+from walking around the hotel.
