It is official. I have now graduated from the Master of Science in Computer Information Systems program at Tarleton State University, Central Texas. It took 3 years, but with the help of my family and friends, I’ve persevered and completed the program.

The best part is that my GPA went up this time. I graduated with a 3.67 GPA.

When I started this thing, I did it to give myself some credentials to use to get some more work consulting for attorneys, either as an expert witness or to help with discovery issues related to Internet cases. I knew what I needed to know before, but now I have a degree that says that I’ve got some training in computer-related things. So, if you need a consultant, maybe I’m your man.

But, it also means that I’ve got a bit more time for things. Like the kids. For 3 years now they have been living in a one parent family for far too much of the time. It’s seemed like the only time that they’ve seen their dad was when they had been bad and I needed to discipline them. Now I’ll have more time for them. I’m really looking forward to that.

I will also have time for blogging and working on other projects that I’ve given some commitments to (I haven’t forgotten about you guys). And perhaps most importantly to the business stuff (and relating back to the comment about consulting work), I’m going to start doing some commentary on Spam Suite. If you’re surprised that I would do this from the standpoint of an anti-spammer then I’m not sure what you’re doing here at all.

Still. I just had to share!
