A new year started and with it came a new job position for me. As a fact I have been pretty quiet over there at my blog, without any substantial information about my move. Twitter and Facebook have been an incredible way to start rumors and give very fresh info to my friends, contacts, followers and peers. But No Twitter will not take the place of this blog, it just took away a lot of my energy from developing and writing for it. After more than 18 months on Twitter I start feeling that sometimes my thoughts, ideas and opinions could have a greater impact in the intertubes. Don’t get me wrong I’m really not aiming for fame, but you know just get heard. But as this blog traffic goes so far it doesn’t emerge as something with a decent readership…yes this default layout and erratic blog post should be the reason. So Twitter give me the interaction that I need especially with a lot of great folks in the Montreal Web scene. But I realize that a blog post push you to your limit, in a very different way than a tweet, you need to write down your ideas, to develop them. That’s something I really need to do more and it’s only with a blog that it be achieve. Ok Now you know one of my 09 resolutions.
Working at NVI Solutions
I did work with incredibly talented people at NVI Solutions, an agency on the very edge of everything eMarketing. I learned a lot during this year, a lot of things that have now shaped the way I see the Internet. Search Engine Optimization tactics and general Search Engines strategies to really understand the marketing perspective applied to this medium. I have also been able to eyes open the team to subjects like usability and accessibility wich I’m pretty proud off. Also started a internal Wiki a great tool to share knowledge. To add to this, it was just a great time with great people.
TMP Worldwide Canada
So at the end of last year, a TMP Worldwide’s senior VP found me on LinkedIn. First off as a business evolving in the HR world it was a good move to use social networks to reach me as a passive candidate. Within a few email and phone chat I really got the feeling that they were able to offer me a nice challenge with responsibilities and so on. So I did the move starting this year working downtown Montreal in the same building as Pluc a PHP developer now at Cloudraker and also ex-NVI.
Is this blog will ever have a real layout?
I’m currently working and experiencing with things like bluescreen CSS and way to add more semantic code to WordPress. Hope this third version of my site will finally see the light…

thx for all, we’re still using that wiki, much more than netvibes, do you still have access to the wiki?
Nope no more access to it very recently but as PbWiki the fee are based on the active users… this make sense. But the trick is that view only users aren’t paid users, so maybe I can still have a view only access
I want to say that I’m really proud of you Sammy, I always knew that you have great abilities. Continue to be curious and you’ll never stop learning.
