I'm back from my ascension of El Capitan, and I have to tell you that it a life-changing experience.About a quarter way up, my climbing partner got an urgent message on his Crackberry and had to bail on me. I told him not bring the goddammned thing, but that Ellison is one stubborn dickhead sometimes.
The whole point of the climb was that we were supposed to get on stage next week and announce some kind of Oracle/Sun alliance. That way, we could talk about how we "scale" together blah blah blah. Stupid, I know, but it was that or sail around the world with the asshole.
So anyway, I decided to summit on my own. About three quarters of the way up, I crawled into my sleeping bag and slept under the stars. And in the morning when I made the summit, I felt this profound feeling that I could do anything on my own.
So I canceled the Oracle announcement. In all probability, Larry would have just gone off script and announced another NetPC or some frigtard idea like that. And all I could have done was smile as he went on and on about the climb while leaving out the little part about turning chickenshit.

Dude, you forgot about the fat joint you and Larry smoked at the top, and how you laughed at the whole silliness of it all. Sheeze, don't forget to tell us about all the good parts, in the future. :)
Jonathan, are you already back? So soon? Well, I have some proposal to make you for the future, an initiative that would give Sun a lot of credit in the news. You can see it at my blogsite: http://fakescott.blogspot.com/2007/09/searching-for-higher-marks.html
By the way, I don't trust very much in the interns you lend me to help my with my blog, we have to talk about that.
F. Scott.
