gamerchick02 | lol i just got the email about the meeting being canceled. i thought it was my irc program or my network. rebooted the router, rebooted the modem, rebooted my machine, and tried three different irc programs. | 00:32 |
gamerchick02 | (on my mac) | 00:32 |
cmaloney | gamerchick02: That's OK. Freenode was a bag of disconnects. | 02:03 |
gamerchick02 | i noticed | 02:40 |
cmaloney | Good morning | 13:38 |
jrwren | good morning | 15:06 |
rick_h_ | evening | 15:10 |
cmaloney | I look forward to a renwed Microsoft | 18:14 |
cmaloney | Honestly every time Steve Ballmer took to the stage I cringed a little. | 18:14 |
brousch | cmaloney: You actually watched? | 18:22 |
cmaloney | Not directly, but seeing the pull quotes from articles were enough to institute cringing. | 18:26 |
cmaloney | It was pretty apparent where the vision of Microsoft was in the CEO chair | 18:26 |
cmaloney | Bill was a strategist and tactician | 18:26 |
cmaloney | not always accurate but devestatingly cunning | 18:27 |
cmaloney | Ballmer is a sales person | 18:27 |
cmaloney | in every sense of that profession | 18:28 |
cmaloney | Not terribly strategic, not terribly cunning, but able to read markets and try to adapt to meet them | 18:28 |
cmaloney | and unfortunately for Ballmer, not particularly adept at having Microsoft not middle-manage itself to death. | 18:29 |
cmaloney | I swear media companies are really dumb: https://twitter.com/TheWOWBuzz/status/430800930871578624 | 20:38 |
