I'm up for any time - but I would prefer earlier in the day rather than
evening
(i.e., lunch instead of dinner). I will volunteer to work on either or
both of
the architecture white papers - just need a short discussion of what
needs to
be in them. I'd rather not work on the patents - I remember that stuff
as being
somewhat painful.
How's everyone else doing? Brian got a job offer - did you take it?
