Feelings_Are_Gay

My uncle was a stand-in father of sorts. All of his brothers (my father included) were taught by their father how to build a house with their bare hands.

My uncle once said to me, after working with him for six months after high school (He is a general contractor), "Son, the hammer was not made for your hand, but I'll be damned if you don't know everything there is to know about computers."

It's a sweet, disappointed compliment. Much like what your father said.

I find Canonical engineering staff to be smarter than Microsoft engineers. Canonical engineers are, as a group, the most humble group of engineers I've ever encountered.

As someone who has been part of the open source community for the better part of 10 years, you could not be more correct.

Ubuntu may not be my cup of tea (Fedora!), but I wholly support what you do and making Linux a possibility for everyone.

Working from home is much different than working in an office, in ways that would take too long to go into.

I know exactly what you mean, but it's impossible for me to work from home; I can't do it.

Can you give us some of the major differences you noticed immediately in the environment between working for Microsoft and Canonical?

Is it almost like going from working in a corporation to a small office environment?

Thanks for your time.
