Thursday, May 08, 2008 It was announced yesterday that Embarcadero will acquire CodeGear from Borland. Details about the announcement are already over the net, here, here, and here for starters, so I will not recap the details.
I have been saying for a long time that CodeGear needs to separate from Borland, and now it is finally going to happen. I'm excited to see what will happen next. Embarcadero seems like a fine suitor for CodeGear. I just hope small software companies, aka microISV, without a focus on databases, such as White Peak Software, are not forgotten about.
Update: Michael Swindell of CodeGear says CodeGear will still be the go to company ISV and microISV. This is good to hear. posted by Kirby | May 8 10:14 AM | comments (0)
Sunday, May 04, 2008 My tweet from Saturday night deserves a follow up response, especially since a few folks have asked "What happened?"
Nothing major happened. We had a few people over for dinner. I needed a cable, which I keep in a milk crate in the top of a closet. As I pulled down the crate a monitor on the same shelve started to fall. I reached for monitor but with the crate in hand and standing on a short stool I lost my balance and fell. Unfortunately I hit my head on a piece of computer equipment opening a short but deep gash next to my eye. (Haha, I crashed into a computer instead of the computer crashing on me.)
There was plenty of blood and the gash looked deep enough that I knew I needed stitches. So off to the hospital for a short ER visit and a few stitches. I returned home to a hungry group of guests. Threw some chicken on the grill and continued the fun. Despite the minor mishap the small gathering was a success. posted by Kirby | May 4 07:43 PM | comments (0)
Thursday, May 01, 2008 Yesterday I mentioned (via Twitter) that Melanie and I had purchased the Griffin Evolve wireless sound system. I happy with the purchase but was made happier today when I found out that Griffin is now selling add-on cube speakers. Maybe I'll throw a couple of speakers upstairs so Rowan can rock out from his room. posted by Kirby | May 1 02:04 PM | comments (0)
