I would spend my day running my own company, or doing my role in the other companies I'm a partner with. I can't do them at the moment though, but I envision myself to do them once some problems have been ironed out. OTOH, working as an employee these days (after four years of being self-employed) has actually broadened some of my perspectives in computing. It sure has its caveats (dress code! time card!) and perks ( working with smart people! medical benefits!), and I intend to use these learnings when running my own gig again. > On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 4:34 PM, Andy Sy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > Orlando Andico wrote: > > > I know that some of the folks on these lists have interviewed at > > Google.
