Hog Bay Software, now using the plural ‘we.’

Hello world.

An introduction would probably be in order before you start seeing my replies on the support forums and elsewhere for Hog Bay Software.

I’m Grey Burkart, the new guy working with Jesse. We’ve known each other for (my) entire life, and Jesse extended the (awesome!) chance to work with him and Hog Bay Software following my recent move back to the area from all the way over in Seattle.

On the day-to-day, I’ll be helping Jesse with the support forums, bug testing, and other necessary good tasks that have had the effect of letting the code-monkey out of his cage. Remember, folks, the longer the blocks of time that Jesse has to focus on coding programs and coming up with even more cool ideas, the sooner we can get them out to you. And that’s the real fun!

The longer-term for Hog Bay Software is where my professional background comes into play. My specialization is in Emergency Management and Business Continuity, which is fancy-speak for contingency planning and applied paranoia for the greater good.

What this means for you: Jesse has added a helping hand for community and SQA, and we’re working to make sure Hog Bay Software is on solid ground, now and in the future.

While I can wrangle some code here and there, programming isn’t really my vocation — but I can certainly break software and I look forward to reproducing bug reports. I run Linux for my personal computers, and it’s tons of fun to be ‘back on the Apple.’

It’s been an eye-opener cruising through the blog and forums to see such a great — and vocal — community using Hog Bay Software’s products. I’m looking forward to working with all of you!

Rock on, Grey Burkart
