Gary bought the Buffet book I mentioned the other day after reading the Amazon reviews. So today he emailed me telling me this and I replied I had just got this book Peopleware about managing software projects. On the back it basically says to buy a copy for your boss so I tell him this and then he replies, I own it, haven't read it but have read other project management books, and anyway 'That's why I hired Bob. :-)'. Bob's I guess my project manager. He's also our CTO. I should feel special that as the only employee I have my very own project manager all to myself :). Ah the dot.com startup atmosphere.

Note: I bought the book from Barnes and Noble along with The Cluetrain Manifesto (because Doc Searls whose weblog I read daily co-authored it). So I buy the book and get the cheapest shipping which is Canada Post. Says it'll take 5-10 business days. It took 15 business days. I'm not impressed.

I also went and got tough with The Royal Bank today about their USD cheque hold policy. My hold time is now down to 10 days the theoritical lowest that it can go (supposedly). I get home and call around and low and behold the other banks give me times between 10-25 business days. Which is ridiculous since all of the banks in Canada own subsidary banks in the states so really you can't tell me that our banking system is so arcane that it actually takes 10 business days.

It was decided a while ago but finalized today with the posting of our placeholder website.

The company I work for is named, Transpose. You can find our corporate site at www.transpose.com and email me on work related matters at matt@transpose.com.

Just noticed that my boss blogged today and it got picked up by Dave's Scripting News. Hopefully we'll be hearing more (publicly) from Gary :).

I just got hit by the Friday afternoon email rush. Ah!
