What the heck is Cron Job?
Cron Job started out as my way of releasing some creative energy. It began when I was working at Oracle, which is a very nice company, but it does business software. And in the world of business, things are much less funny. This basically meant that I was not allowed to stick jokes in my documentation (yes, I tried). So I had all this pent-up humor building in my brain, and needed some sort of outlet. Thus came Cron Job. Anyway, since then, I got a job making games for Broderbund software, and can use my creative in energies in more productive ways (read: “Doing something I’ll actually get paid for”). But since I’ve got a fiercely loyal following who probably will send me hate mail for the next year or two if I stop writing these articles, I keep it up.
