Posted on September 30, 2005. Filed under: Analyst, bloggerview, blogging, ibm |

A Long Day, and my Exhaust

Posted on September 27, 2005. Filed under: blogging, delusions, family, humor, partners |

Actually, it’s been 2 long days. I’m on a task that’s critical to our partner program and strategy. Why we’re doing what we’re doing and not out buying companies is making more sense to me every time we speak to analysts. Look for more on this topic in a couple of days. I’m [...]
