Manager

Having a great mentor/manager is definitely a bonus when you start working. Micrsoft Legal cleared me to start working earlier today based on my work permits, etc. My manager’s reponse to that made me feel important :)

“Woo hoo!  Looking forward to getting you back in the team!

How you been?  I haven’t chatted to you in a while.  We should grab another beer or a game of pool again soon.  How’s the schedule looking?”

I guess thats what makes him a good manager, one that keeps his army of coders happy. I’m not complaining. I like the attention. Don’t be jealous.

Domains..part deux

Jan 30

I had a surprising transaction with a domain squatter this past week. I made a post earlier about a domain squatter in Korea who had registered sparkoflight.org . Well I’ve been talking to him this past week to negotiate a possible transfer of the domain registration to us (my friend and I). The squatter initially demanded US$2000 and later ended up giving it to us for free, once he realized that the domain was going to be used for a non-profit cause. I’m really surprised that I managed to get it for free, along with the domain being registered for 3 more years!

On a side note, looks like my earlier rant about Triversal is now the number 2 result on Google when you search for the keyword. Yikes! They now claim that we haven’t paid them in 2 years… :(
