It's official. My last LAN party really was my last, as I have been offered a job by Google, Inc. I will soon be moving to Mountain View, CA to work at their headquarters.

Congrats!

However, as your attorney I advise you to demand a six figure salary and demand the inclusion of free dinners. Also I advise you that you should hold another LAN party, this time at Google and invite me... but have the company jet come pick me up.

Also... make something cool and not crappy that will change the world, whether for good or evil it makes no difference. Also if Google could use their collective IQ to figure out why hot dogs come in packs of ten and hot dogs come in packs of eight and the fix the problem that would be awesome.

One last thing I know that Google likes naming their buildings after units (e, pi)... suggest a wiktor. Its a unit named after Mike Wiktor to describe 1000% error.

That is all.

Yours Truly, Your Attorney

As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special messages. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of L.A. for at least 48 hours.

e and pi are constants, not units. And those are the old buildings... e, i, pi, and -1 I believe. The buildings on the new campus that I'll be at are numbered 40, 41, 42, and 43... with 42 being the main one, of course.

The hot dog people just want your money.

When theposse.org moved, it moved to my professionally-hosted machine running in a large datacenter somewhere in... um... east... -ish...

Yeah, I have no idea where the server is. But it cost a lot of money and it runs well!

Congratulations!!! Just wish I would have been able to make one last LAN party.
