[dba-Tech] Retired at last

Well, all the best Arthur.  Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.  I'm almost
there myself - sold off the IP rights to my product and am just doing a few
private clients and playing lots of music.  It's a seductive lifestyle, I
tell ya, not having work break up your whole day. :)

But I wish you would come over to the OT list - at least lurk for a while
until you get sucked in.  Nice folks, interesting drama, no rules debates, I
think you'd like it.

Best,

Rocky

Subject: [dba-Tech] Retired at last

I am formally declaring my retirement from this game of prrograming.. I can
no longer perform the moves that entitle one to make a living in this game.
Therefore I am returning to my original passion, writing screenplays. I
wrote 35 and sold one it got made, and most of that time I made my living
bartending, but then I discovered computers and programming and wrote some
books about the same, but now I'm done with this profession, and I my focus
is in the history of Chinese people in Canada. Of course it begins with the
immigrants invited to build our railroads for peanuts and then forbidden to
invite their wives (actually, they had to pay $500 immigration tax; if you
want to know how money that is is modern terms, Google can help you; just
type in "500 CDN dollars 1890" and you will see what a shocking value this
was.

My research has also uncovered a copy of a splendid (I don't know another
word for it) poster from the election in Kamloops, BC, by the Liberal party,
warning of the Yellow Peril.

This is why I have to stop writing software and doing something important.

I'll still attend this salon but my mind is currently on bigger issues.
