  • Sally had her art show yesterday. There are tons of pictures up on her site.
  • I had a gig at the Mission Rock earlier in the day, so I couldn’t get there until about 7:00. I was kind of bummed about that, but all went well. It was a good show too.

  • New Survey: How long will you stay at your job?

    At least in Bay Area hi-tech jobs, turnover is nearly as high as it is for baggers at Safeway. If you work in hi-tech, how long do you expect to stay with your current employer?

  • FYI, I’m going to try to run a new survey every day for a while. Let’s have fun!
  • Have you checked out Workspot.com? A free linux account from anywhere through your browser?!? Cool! I’m honestly blown away.
  • Bonus survey: What’s on your mind?
    Sex?

  • I went out for a few drinks after work with the folks from Mac Publishing. Where’s my camera when I need it?!?
  • One of the guys there is Paul Forrester. He used to be at Apple, during both the Scully days, and during the Jobs return. He worked in both the Rhapsody group, and on developing debuggers. He tells me that things got un-fun when Jobs came back:

    “Jobs said, ‘I want to see the cars in the lot at midnight again.’ He wanted us to act like a strtup, but he didn’t give us any incentive [stock].”

  • Has anyone checked out TeamSite from Interwoven? I checked out a WebEx demo yesterday, and it looked pretty interesting. They do version control ala Perforce, but they also have an extensive JavaScript-based user interface.
