A new site for a new life...

After several years of the same old web site, built with MS Frontpage, I've changed hosting providers and moved on to MS Expression Web.  I've also moved on from being a contractor in Iraq to life as an employee of Cisco Systems, Inc.--although some people claim Cisco is more of a way of life than a job!  So far it's been great, despite a few hiccups as the only Cisco International Assignee in Kuwait--and the resulting lessons learned.

Kelly's life in Kuwait 

I've moved on to Kuwait from Iraq--the job opening which Cisco had was there--and will be here for a total of a little over three years.  So far, life in Kuwait is interesting.  The living conditions are far better than Iraq--of course--and the pay is far less--as you might expect.  I get to travel much more, although not to places I would were I scheduling a pleasure trip, like Afghanistan and Qatar.

I have the top floor of a villa, about 1,800 sq. ft. of living space with a balcony which is about 600 sq. ft. 

The new site...

• Is quite fresh but has little content as yet.
• May change dramatically as I learn MS Web Expression and its capabilities.
• Will eventually have some of the networking data I had on my old site.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE

The world's tallest building, an incredible 2.717 ft (828 m) tall, nearly half a mile!  The observation deck, at 1,450 ft (442 m), is the highest observation deck in the world.  The deck opened on January 5, 2010, I visited on January 23, and following a problem with an elevator on February 8, the deck was closed and remains closed.
