My Dreams… They are crushed.

I had an awesome plan to become a billionaire this morning.  Unfortunately, Forex.com won’t sell Zimbabwean dollars to me.

Sigh.

Damn Skippy.

Everyone else is making big announcements and putting out new stuff…  So we figured we’d get on the bandwagon.

We’d wanted to distribute an actual ISO, rather than this hokey “build your own ISO” script, but our lawyers are protecting us from ourselves, or something.  Makia did several presentations about our product at ISC, and so far the feedback we’ve gotten has been good.  I guess we did something right!

Some of us saw the wrong side of dawn a few times, but it’s done.  We’ll take a few minutes to breathe, and then push on to make the product that we really wanted to put out there.

No, not the language (shudder). As soon as I return the paperwork, I will be on my way toward becoming a Sun employee. No requirement to move anywhere (not yet, anyhow), and overall a pretty good deal. Better than a sharp stick in the eye, anyhow.

When I was a wee young geek, I always thought it would be pretty cool to work for Sun. Funny how life goes some times.
