schestowitzI have just had this very long phone conversion with OIN's CEO, who provided me with valuable information one cannot find in the press. This ought to help future writings and he is also a good connection to have for the future of the sites.Aug 25 01:53

schestowitz> Oh Roy...thank you for everything! You are a genuinely good person and I know that if Angels in Heaven exist, they surely have to have a special place for you in their hearts and in their grand scheme for humanity !Aug 25 08:20

schestowitz> I just noticed that steve jobs resigned. Only you know what secret behind-the-scenes role you may have had setting that into motion.  But from this vantage point it is a pivotal event, like the berlin wall of the computer industry falling.  And while people thank Reagan for that, it was more like lech welesa, pope john paul and gorbachev setting critical ingredients into motion. So I see you as standing alongside them, Aug 25 08:20

TechrightsSocial@Schestowitz (schestowitz)'s status on Thursday, 25-Aug-11 11:46:27 UTC - Identi.ca: People love to daemonise tax on carbon emission, but in profit-based economy it's necessary to incentivise reuse (e.g. bottles) financiallyAug 25 12:55

schestowitzI've been waiting for the server admin to grant me access to functions I might otherwise need to re-implement.Aug 25 19:47
schestowitzI also checked with a colleague whether she knows of a function that I may need to reuse rather than implement, but I guess it's not there... so I will implement these myself although I think I saw these beforeAug 25 19:49
