I gave into despair when the shuttleworth grant didn't come through last year. I'm glad y'all keep slogging on. I started at this as a third world problem. Living in the first world is thus far proving too expensive. Unless I get my act together on $dayjob soon even moving back to Nicaragua will be impossible. (and Nica is currently very dicy politically) I'm still primarily motivated by fixing the internet outside the usa. My daydream, once I had enough cash in the bank or some (say, 50k) maintenence level of income, was to sail from pacific island to pacific island, updating uplinks along the way, finishing up writing a few papers, contemplating some other currently insoluable networking problems - like routing. These days... I don't know. I'm at a cusp. If I keep failing at dayjob for another month I'll try to find something outside this field entirely. Last year, being dead broke, I did construction for a while. It was good for me. > Heaving cake over the transom is the "last" thing.

Obama's FTC seemed like a better place than the FCC for many issues. -- Dave Täht CEO, TekLibre, LLC http://www.teklibre.com Tel: 1-669-226-2619 _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list Cake@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
