Hi, folks,
Well, it's ten years that I've been on this list, right when I
started
this job. But, it's time to move on... I'm retiring. (Yeah, that old.)
So, though I'll be part time for a few months, and running CentOS at
home (in spite of my manager's pushing me to do Ubuntu). This list is
*so* much more useful than any of the ones I've seen for Ubuntu, or
much else.
I'm very much looking forward to C 8.
One more thing: I know I've been over the top on ethics "I work for
a
US federal contractor, but not saying more", even though there's folks
like Todd, who's military. Anyway, now that I'm out, today, my line (in
person) was, "I'm with the federal goverment, and I'm here to help
you." Then, after they ask if I'll have to kill them, I can say, no:
I've been with the NIH, and so, yes, I really meant it.
I'll show up occasionally, but not like I have been.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I'm also retired, but keep getting calls from my former employer since they never bothered to have anyone else learn what it was I did. :( At least they pay me for that...> So, though I'll be part time for a few months, and running CentOS at > home (in spite of my manager's pushing me to do Ubuntu).

And faster.
