Unemployed

Last day at Borland was today. Micro Focus is closing down our Austin office, so I've been laid off (along with 90% of R&D). Officially, I'm still a Borland employee for 60 more days, but I don't have to go into the office.

Ahhh... 2 months to work on my tan and find a job. Oh, wait - I already have a tan. Just need a job now.

Thankfully, minimum wage is now $7.25 per hour and engineers are still in demand.

Ahh, man. Sorry to hear about this dude. I'm glad you at least have 60 days. Good luck in the search. You've got skills.

Ack that sucks! Good thing you have your Amazon book tour coming up.

Dan wants to know if you can write video codex for Windows & Linux.

Thanks for checking. I like low level stuff, but have no real experience writing video codecs. Then again, I do have 2 months to learn it.

Hi Cindy,

Hope you and family are doing well.
