Old news is so dull, huh. But for the sake of continuity, I'll keep it here...


End of Quarter

Well, the first three months passed successfully, and now the winter is upon us. I've been round the world once, spoken at many conferences, written some papers and a magazine article. Yes, business as usual -a conference speaker and spokesman for a company with a three-letter name ;-)
I also finally installed my HTML editor on my new laptop (a Thinkpad T20) and am once again in a position to maintain this web site while I'm on the move, so hopefully will be able to keep things in better shape. (October 25)


JavaOne

I spent an interesting first week as a Sun employee at JavaOne in San Francisco. I've now completed three weeks, have my badge, have given a keynote address at AD2000, given two interviews and am indeed starting to have fun. (June 23)


A New Era

So the time is here. I start with Sun on Monday June 5th over in California - my last day at IBM is Friday June 3rd. If you are at JavaOne do sent an e-mail and we can try to meet up. After that look out for me round Cupertino, I am based in CUP3 and living in Los Gatos when I am not home in the UK.(May 31)


End of an Era

The news is that I resigned from IBM on Friday May 5th. I expect to start work for Sun Microsystems in June as their Chief Software Evangelist. I'll have a manager in the US and will stay resident in the UK, so expect to travel about half the time. (May 7)
