TechrightsBot-sc@rclayton's status on Saturday, 21-May-11 12:43:27 UTC - Identi.ca: @schestowitz then where is the source code for the software you are working on? And why does your employer have patents on it?May 21 16:18
schestowitzmore liesMay 21 16:18
schestowitzMay 21 16:20
schestowitz[12:53] <MinceR> maybe it was just a publicity stuntMay 21 16:20
schestowitzNoMay 21 16:20
schestowitzLike I said, she decided to stop some hours after I chatted with herMay 21 16:20
schestowitzThere is a lot that the public does not seeMay 21 16:21
schestowitzAnd that I can't paste herMay 21 16:21
schestowitzand anyway, I reckon she carries on not just because of the community and Mark but also because she's addicted to itMay 21 16:21
schestowitzIt's one of the main thing she 'knows'May 21 16:21
schestowitzI would be on the same trainMay 21 16:21
schestowitzShe did this full-time and beyond for 8 yearsMay 21 16:22
schestowitzSo it would be hard to go 'cold turkey' and not respond to major newsMay 21 16:22
oiaohmReally I don't think she was expecting to get someone to take over the dayly grindMay 21 16:22
schestowitzWhen BT messed up I still had Internet connection and could carry on some thingsMay 21 16:22
oiaohmLike Mark.May 21 16:22
schestowitzanyway, it's good that she's aroundMay 21 16:23
oiaohmSo now she can do it part time.May 21 16:23
schestowitzMinceR: she helps me find idea stories for techrightsMay 21 16:23
oiaohmSo its a step down of sorts.May 21 16:23
schestowitzIt's good if she does more news picks as she doesMay 21 16:23

schestowitzAnd then he said, it's for snobsMay 21 16:24
schestowitzApple bricked his phoneMay 21 16:24
schestowitzCause he bought it in the USMay 21 16:24
schestowitzAnd tried to activate it hereMay 21 16:24
schestowitzThey bricked it, the bastards... now he has to wait for months until jail-breakingMay 21 16:24
schestowitzhe needed to get pay-as-you-go phone in the meantimeMay 21 16:25
