Re: Changing track
I can't tell you how many times over the years I've hollered out loud, Dammit, Martin, what in the hell? Usually with a config file thing. But you always answered my questions on server-devel. Over all these years, you helped me up into some real Linux knowledge, for which I will always be grateful. Thank you for putting up with me while I learned from you. If you ever visit Birmingham, I owe you a beer. Anna ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: Changing track
Thank you for the email... and THANK YOU for all the work you do in deployments. It's the hardest one of all. You are in HK, right? I'll let you know if any trip takes me there.

Re: Changing track
Your last day! Yes everything is hardwork and team work but the joy is things do happen. Yes I am in HK but this year will spent more time in Australia. Incubating the idea of a Learning conference somewhere where things are cheaper and close to HK, Singapre, Thailand, etc .. (hint: Malacca, Malaysia). Participants then fly off for holiday of their choice! Like your writeup on the behind the scene of the making of the XO4. Hope to get my fingers on it soon to create a new level of excitment here!
