			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My last day passed and its memory is vivid. The things I enjoyed about Visa was the work ethic, the place, the attitude.&nbsp;The work assignment was varied and touched all the things I loved to do. Dealing with software vendors, managing complex technical, financial, and business relationships.</p>
<p>Now I move on to another thing which means an update of sorts to the life story of this blog. The blog is a wondrous catalog of the places and things I&rsquo;ve touched and those that have touched me. I still consider the stories of those around me and what I learned from such a group of friends, colleagues, and even enemies. Lets be clear; you will learn from friends and enemies as well.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m moving ever farther afield from the days of Linux for the most part. Leaving the startup ethic of the open source behind me with small, silent steps. My drumbeat echoes a new place and my steps behind me rapidly disappear. Their method is only known to me and I can still discern those days of desert solitude when I touched the face of so many archeologists behind me there in desert dunes and foothills.</p>
<p>Bye Mani and Scott. You guys were the best. Bye Visa Products. I enjoyed all the work and play. Bye GSI and KeyLogic. You guys were the best and I&rsquo;ll treasure the memories. Two guys with initials will always stand out in my memories. AJ and JB. Thanks.</p>
<p>On to the next thing. Wish me well. I&rsquo;m leaving a few things behind and I&rsquo;ll be focusing more in the Windows world going forward. So, as the ultimate habilis that I am; I shift my boundaries to that reality. Truth be told, I&rsquo;ve never really been an OS bigot. Ask anyone that knows me. I use the tools.</p>
<p>I plan on posting Monday here what the next thing is but this weekend I claim for eating, drinking, and family.</p>
