Folks,
At last, the contents of Adrian's blue-file is being slowly revealed, Wikileaks-style..
To ensure that he does not end up being extradited to Sweden, he has very smartly blanko-ed the sales targets out so that Digital Equipment Corp (aka DEC) sales reps do not get their grubby hands on it.
For those who find this info disturbing or disorientating, you ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till Adrian finds the time to scan all the contents in his blue-file. We indeed have our very own Julian (aka Adrian) Assange livning in Ang Mo Kio..
"These 12 men touched us.. And that's why we worked for them.."
No, these are not the words of a new Joan Collins book.
These men ruled our adult working world. Some of us worked in more than one of them, or in some part of their organisational creations. They are really "IT oldies but goodies". I remembered the author of this BusinessWeek article saying that it was a once-in-a-lifetime event getting all 12 of them together in the studio.."this photo was not photoshopped!", he declared.
Can you imagine who would be in this photo if taken today or in 10 years' time?
Page, Brin, Zuckerberg, et al
(Mel, you wanted a copy, so here it is..)
Dear All,
It was a laugh-a-minute affair!
I feel young again just sitting beside Adrian and Ramesh..
Given this momentous meeting, I thought it would be fitting to set up our own blog to record this fantastic occasion for posterity. Also, this new "repository" (remember this word we used for Vasenwala, Ramesh?) can now be used to do all of, but not limited to, the following:
1. give Adrian a safe digitalized site to deposit all his treasured antiques (Hoshin, SR Rating Criteria, etc) before the cockcroaches in his house make a meal of them. (Adrian, please return that stolen file back to HR lah..)
2. drop our old photos here, incriminating ones or otherwise
3. detect and report the "lost-and-found" - eg.. Mathia in Cairo's Tahrir Square on a horse
4. spout all the old tales, like one particular DM's smelly old-socks-on-tables (in this site, you can settle all IOUs or old scores..)
5. add Gollum-like phrases and words to Wikepidia like, "is he quota-carrying or not?" or "POs from VARs are also commisionable, right?" or "FTS"..
and of course, record the minutes of OBG-meetings, using photos like the 7 from Pat, below.
You are all authors (accept the e-invites coming to you soon), so please contribute to this precious "OBG-OldiesButGoodies" blog about us, for us. Cheers everyone, and thanks Pat and ChinHu for kicking this off to a wonderful start!
