Well, it’s been a long run, but I am finally moving on from HKS. For the last 13 years I have been working as an Objective-C programmer.  However on Monday I will become a C++/Qt programmer for AIM-USA.

I know this is silly, but the thing that I actually am most concerned about is learning to budget biweekly instead of monthly.  You can expect a new biweekly version of my blank budget template in the next month or so.

My new company has a great insurance plan which means I can’t contribute to my HSA account any more, but it should save me about $5000 a year in health insurance costs.  While I believe in high deductible insurance as a good thing for the country, I am going to do whatever will save me the most money.

The linked article of note because both of the hospitals noted in the article are also using my software!

I wonder if any of the 42 people that used to work at Washington Hospital Center and now work for Microsoft have heard of my employer?

I had not heard of their product Azyxxi before this, but I would not be suprised if we are already sharing data with them via HL-7 messaging.
