The thing is, because I’ve been working on
dsandler.org I’ve been reluctant to post any new entries. This is
total laziness: I’ve already extracted and converted the weblog
database to the new system, and I don’t want to have to do it again.

But the important part of having a journal like this is to write about
things that are interesting to me, when they happen, rather than putting
it off until later when I have more time, and, invariably, less
inspiration. As with everything else in my life, if it’s not easy for
me to deal with it immediately, it tends to disappear from my brain
forever (or until it becomes a real problem; see
procrastination).

So, here we go, as it happens: Today was my last day at PalmSource. In a way, it was my
last day at Be, Inc. as well, as there are
about two dozen ex-Be employees still at PSI with whom I converse (over
IRC, natch) almost daily. I’ve worked with these people for four years,
ever since Erin and I went crazy and went west on
the advice of a very good
friend.

Improbably, I even had a little farewell lunch today, as Jeff (who lives in Austin)
and Jason and and Justin (who are
each infesting Jeff’s house at the moment) drove down to Houston to meet
Trey and myself for delicious Chuy’s. It was a little bit of Be, one
last time, before I close the book on my professional life for quite a
while.

to suffer our geek talk all afternoon).

Thanks, everyone.
