Welcome to IWETHEY!

New In the "how cool is this category"
have a chance to meet the papa of C and nix next week.

Not enough to change my mind though. By the end of next month I will be tanning.
Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry.Adrian Belew
New *GRIN*

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Just one step + one swap from DRL - coincidence? You decide!

Very cool, actually.

Jealous.
New Bill, Ed, Alfred, and Mark
I used to work for BEA back in 1998-1999 when they had an engineering office in Plano, TX for Tuxedo adapters and mainframe products (Connect TCP and Connect SNA). I left in 1999 and the office closed in 2001/2002 as WebLogic took over BEA. I miss BEA.

While I was there, I meet all of them, Bill Coleman and Alfred Chuang on one occasion and Ed Scott on another.

I liked Mark Carges the best. Mark is still there in a CTO role, and I think he's probably smarter technically than any software executive I've met.

I've also met Kraig Brockschmidt who architected COM, back in the day, and I still have his COM book signed, but it's probably not worth much now.

I've also traded email with Robert Lewis and Maggie Biggs, but I haven't kept up with what they're doing, really. I'm bad about keeping up contacts, but trying to get better.

I had a chance to see a "Get Motivated!" conference today with Colin Powell, Zig Ziglar, Goldie Hahn, Steve Forbes, Avery Johnson, and someone else I can't remember, but after checking the Internet, I found out it was for some really expensive sales training. And I would have to share the experience with 30,000 other people. Not exactly my idea of a fun time. And I've already met Zig Ziglar in person anyway.

Enjoy your meeting with Dennis, and I hope it goes well. Brilliant minds tend to "collaborate" as I always say.

New Maggie shows up here from time to time.
And on Jabber. She's good at remembering people, I've found.

I'm not sure I should admit this, but I've met John McAfee. It was after his company started to run away without him, as it were.

Wade.


Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
