Hi Warren-
Sorry that I have not been visiting LUAU for quite some time. About
quitting school, even for just one semester, I really think you
should give it very careful thoughts. I remember Michael Dell told
us (at Exxon) exactly the same thing, that he was going to quit
University of Texas for just one semester. But he never returned to
school. There are, of course, big differences between Dell and
yourself. Michael Dell had a very definitive goal and eventually
became a multi-billionaire. Working on Linux (ha!), particularly on
the kind of "pro bono" projects that you mentioned, will get you
nowhere. Between my wife and I, we are probably one of the most
educated pairs on earth (I have BS, MS, PhD in chemical engineering
and JD, and my wife has BS, MS in electrical engineering and MD). I
always hated schools. And because I hated schools, may goal had
always been to study as hard as possible while in school so that I
could get the degree and get out of school as quickly as possible.
I understand your concern but don't worry about me, I have every
intention of continuing school. Next semester I will be part-time
with maybe 3-6 credits, 3 will be for ICS499 independent study
projects. Here's my project:
For a while, you got me worried. :-)
