When Blackstone Data Systems closed, I was hired at U.S. DataCenters by the original owner as one of the Directors, one tier down from the boss. By the time I started (a couple months later after finishing Essential SourceSafe), the VCs had taken over and installed an entire layer of Vice Presidents between the managers and their appointed CEO, CTO and CFO. It took them less than a year to shutter the business (See "Dot Com Bomb" and "Burn Rate") and lay off nearly all the employees. I was brought back in as a consultant to finish what I started. Ted Roche and Associates, LLC was formed on this day, Independence Day, July 4th, 2001. Six years later, I can't imagine operating any other way.
