Hi, folks,
Well, it's ten years that I've been on this list, right when I started this job. But, it's time to move on... I'm retiring. (Yeah, that old.) So, though I'll be part time for a few months, and running CentOS at home (in spite of my manager's pushing me to do Ubuntu). This list is *so* much more useful than any of the ones I've seen for Ubuntu, or much else.
I'm very much looking forward to C 8.
One more thing: I know I've been over the top on ethics "I work for a US federal contractor, but not saying more", even though there's folks like Todd, who's military. Anyway, now that I'm out, today, my line (in person) was, "I'm with the federal goverment, and I'm here to help you." Then, after they ask if I'll have to kill them, I can say, no: I've been with the NIH, and so, yes, I really meant it.
I'll show up occasionally, but not like I have been.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Congratulations on making it that far, Mark! I'm also retired, but keep getting calls from my former employer since they never bothered to have anyone else learn what it was I did. :(
At least they pay me for that...

Well, it is much easier to do something from scratch [you way], that to learn what and how another person did to modify it for new requirements. And faster. I know it on my hide.

I plan on going one more year to hit 70. Working on a contract that should carry me through with some interesting work.

I guess I made the 'right' decision back when CentOS was spun up. In fact it took me until Fedora 6 (I think 6, as I have some old notes about it) came out to switch my notebook off CentOS to Fedora.

I really need to look at what the pluses are.

I am working on a subcontract with US gov agency that the work will as be to help. Talks, though have been dragging on, and the agency wants to issue initial rule making all to soon.
I'll show up occasionally, but not like I have been.
Looking forward to seeing a more laid back Mark around!
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
And just before global warming cooks them all (problems with Salmon up in Alaska).
Great to hear about the start of new things for you!

Global warming was just a misspelling. It was supposed to be something about worms.

Congratulations. I am going to miss sharing the interesting experiences of getting things to work while following the 'Guidance' together with you. Now *you* get to choose which guidance to follow. :) <SNIP>
One more thing: I know I've been over the top on ethics "I work for a US federal contractor, but not saying more", even though there's folks like Todd, who's military.
Only a Civi' :)
Anyway, now that I'm out, today, my line (in person) was, "I'm with the federal goverment, and I'm here to help you."
<SNIP> One must be *_Very_* careful with that line... in certain facilities it even seems the rotating portions of computers become afraid of moving upon hearing it. :)
-- Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer. I do not have authority to make or modify the terms of any contract.
