Yet another new job

For those of you keeping track at home I will note that I am now working for Cambridge Research & Instrumentation in Woburn, MA as a Principal Software Developer. I am excited to be working on medical equipment - I am helping develop software for the Maestro and Nuance systems. The coding is primarily C++ so I have been studying a lot - I haven't used C++ in almost ten years.

I just noticed that my name is in a new book. The book is Refactoring HTML, by Elliotte Rusty Harold. I'm pretty sure I am the 'Kent' mentioned in the section Why Refactor HTML in Chapter 1.

This is the third time, to my knowledge, that I been mentioned in a book. The first, and most substantial, is the printed Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition in which I am primarily responsible for Recipe 3.2. The second time is in The Definitive Guide to Django where I receive an acknowledgement.
