Well, I went off-line for about a month. So, what happen?
I flew out to Seattle, finished my thesis, flew back to Cleveland to successfully (!) defend it, and then I started work at Microsoft.
I'm a Software Design Engineer/Test (SDET) in the .NET Web Services Runtime group. (My group is the one with Don Box [the page references my direct manager, Sujay] and Keith Ballinger.)
Unfortunately, there's not much I can say about what I'm doing there. Mu-ha-ha. But we are hiring, so please email me with your resume and I'll forward it on...
Eventually, soon, this blog will move to www.jlambert.com; now that I've finished my thesis, I can update my personal website, etc.
