Quick update

Just a quick update for anyone who's wondering what's going on with me. I had a few major projects at work that absorbed a ton of what I thought would be free time. So far, we have:



  1. Migrated from physical Sendmail Sentrion server to virtual

  2. Moved Enterprise Email Services from one Data Center to a Dual Data Center

  3. Migrated our custom Perl environment along the same path

  4. Consolidated codebase from ~3,000 custom applications to ~28 (Thanks, Mojolicious!)

  5. Significantly rewrote applications to centralize and normalize Directory (LDAP/AD) functions

  6. Consolidated dependent modules to a more uniform selection

There's plenty more work to do as well - I'm having to post-facto implement testing (unit/regression) that should have been in place years ago. Thanks to Test::Mojo, that's become not only feasible but fun. I'm also working on getting our deployment strategy modernized. Git/Perl/Mojolicious are an amazing combo for this.

With some of the major milestones of the year out of the way, I'm expecting to be able to get more stuff out on Github for others to play with.
