| Thing | This weekend I put together a proposal to set up and manage a network for a company located north of Dallas. These guys do targeting and guidance systems for air-to-surface missiles for the USAF. I delivered it this morning and DAMN! Talk about a tough crowd! Here I am in this room full of PhD’s, who know their shit doesn't stink, trying to get them to come down to my level and understand that just because you're a rocket scientist doesn't mean you have to be an ass! One guy was appalled that I was going to charge them a consultation fee for putting together the proposal. I guess he thought that I enjoyed those 15 hours of work so much that I was just going to do it for free. HA! Anyway, they chilled out when I gave them an impromptu demonstration of remote access through VPN and some other cool tricks. I even heard the ass say "Wow" once. HA! Again! I'll give you guys an update when they award me the contract. :) | November 24, 2003, 9:30 PM |
| Thing | OK, the head propellar head just called and awarded me the contract. ;) Now I must figure out a way to inject special code into their targeting software that will direct all missles to Canada. | November 26, 2003, 4:15 PM |
| Hitmen | Run, iago! | November 26, 2003, 5:04 PM |
| iago | haha, I'm not worried. No person or missile could possibly find my city. It'll just miss horribly. | November 26, 2003, 6:44 PM |

| Thing | This contract is a little one. Tuesday I'll go there and interview them to get some more details and create the plan of action. It will probably run around $10K up front and then a monthly maintenance fee. The initial installation will take around 10 hours. | November 26, 2003, 9:51 PM |
