> Yep! Got a laptop, got a home connection, and I start work tomorrow. No ISDN line yet, but apparently it'll happen some day, as the glacial slugs of bureaucracy ooze slowly down their usual paths. In the meantime I have a standard flat-rate connection which is being paid for by the company. (Maybe that should be spelled ... The Company.) Not sure yet how many hours of work I'm in for, but I'm looking forward to spending a lot more time here than I have for a while. Yay! Free Rinkworks time, courtesy of Bill Gates.

You've just gotta love Bill. I mean, that's some real nice face he's trying to save on his new commercials. You know... the one where he's sitting there all friendly like he's an old chum, and he mentions all of the *wonderful* innovations that MS is going to bring forth unto the world in our near, yet vague, future. He seems to make a point of not mentioning any recent events in the MS historical timeline, but simply reassurring all of us that he's still "there" for us and will continue to be.

He makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
