Damn Skippy.

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

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.

Chillin…  Listening to Martin Mickos speak at the Sun auditorium in Second Life.

Back from CO

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Flew out to Denver for a team meeting in Broomfield this week.  Was nice to see everyone again.  We seemed to get a lot of planning done, and there was much team bonding via imbibing in the evenings.

Travel home yesterday sucked, though.  I changed my return flight from an afternoon to a morning flight, which was canceled.  The whole point of leaving earlier was that I wanted to get home before midnight, and the new itinerary would have had me home at 22:30.  D’oh.  I put on my best “poor me” routine and managed to get standby on a flight to Boston (without having to pay the difference in fare), and then took the train home.

Got home early enough to do bedtime for L, so it worked out as well as it could have, I guess.

Hello JAVA

Monday, September 17th, 2007

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.
