Consider it a happy thing and a completion of a long term task that's lasted for 1 year and 7 months. It was originally a technical dare both for me and the BSD/OS group to see if I can handle this level of work as a test for me to get into the core engineering group. I consider it a big success despite the crap talking behind my back and various other political issues I've deal with during that time, namely from people rather limited conceptual view of what a high level engineer is and therefore sociologically limited as a result of this. During that time I had a lot of fun, exploited the first professional break I've ever gotten, made a name for myself in BSD community, connected to high level Sun (Calvin Austion, etc...) and FreeBSD folks (Matt Dillion, Robert Watson, Julian Elischer, Jeffery Hsu are all a blast), hung out and taken care by a great group of folks at BSD/OS (world caliber by any account) that kept me out of trouble, focused and taught me a lot about a lot of things. Really, this portion of the my experience is just incredibly positive. Hopefully, I can build on things like this and do other really good things for folks that deserve it. ;) I'll be around. ;) bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
