blogging gone wrong
As of December 1st, the entire IS (Information Services) department at my current employer is getting outsourced to an alliance between Hewlett-Packard and British Telecom. As a part of that project, I’ll be transferring to HP this December. Went to Oslo this weekend for the HP 2008 Kickoff and had a good time with some of my future colleagues. More as events unfold!
Ever heard of The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry - or IFPI? Somehow, through a donation from a third party, The Pirate Bay has gotten hold of the domain, ifpi.com. The original owners probably let the domain expire and someone snagged it before they could correct the mistake.

So I was going to make this innuendo-laden post about what I do with my stick, but decided against it. This is a family blog after all.

I don’t trade stocks, and couldn’t care less about most of them really. But lately there is one particular technology company I’ve found some pleasure in keeping an eye on - SCOX. When I’m bored I just watch the little desktop widget showing SCO’s freefall.
No idea what I’m on about? Check Groklaw for the entire SCO saga in all it’s glory!
