An interesting week

Here is an interesting week. A company that wants me to come work with them has gotten a major chipset mfg from taiwan to agree to pay for me to do Computex. They (the first company) will likely pay for business class tix for me to go.

Of course the main company I work for has me on this major project call Seabiscuit, which is so major that I can't even talk about it with most of the company!

Then of course I will have to ask this company for a paid week off to go to Taiwan to Conputex, which is being paid for by 2 other companies. The first company (the airfare one) wants me to work with them as a permanent sort of thing, but I like the company where I am now. I finally have things working well and probably will be getting more toys.

Speaking of toys, my old company, which failed, sent me some more old toys so I have a few extra computers now with video capture cards. Need to do something with those (mythtv anyone?)

On totally unrelated news, another company that I am part of, a nights & weekends sort of thing, just found out that I got fiber optic cable laid near my house and how cheap the bandwidth from them is, so it looks like I will be getting a server rack in the basement, bandwidth and some electric paid for, a major UPS and possibly even a generator put in.
