Thank you. It has been my pleasure to help and work with this effort.
Now to make an announcement:
I will be leaving the build/test team. Sadly, the 'real world' has interfered and I have to look for a new job. This may mean that I will not be available for long periods of time. It has been a lot of fun working on NeoOffice and I wish all of you the best of luck with NeoOffice 2.0.

Serious Update :
I posted my resume/CV on Monster/Dice (for those who do not know, Dice is for IT PROFESSIONALS) on the weekend of January 28th. I've had over ten offers and have two job interviews. In addition, the folks at my job site do not want me to get laid off and leave them. So, I may have a job at the end of this month, and it may be with the folks I work for now. If that happens, NeoOffice 2.0, here I come....

I'd also like to thank you James. You accomplished ahellava lot in a short time around here from what I've read and observed. As Pat said, thanks for all the TIME you and the gang invested because at the end of the day, that's what makes this thing go. Since time is money, that's a HUGE investment into the success of the Neo project. Ditto for Pat and ed.
You sound awfully talented, I can't even follow half the stuff in your posts, nor Pat's nor ed's, hopefully you will land where the office politics don't eat you up. If I had more courage, I'd retire and try to do my own thing. |

Sometimes I wish my English was better.
This is based on a true event that took place in a foreign country:
Individual enters a place to eat.
Waitress meets said individual and greets in native tongue.
Individual spends five to ten minutes going over menu. Individual attempts to order food in native tongue.
Waitress, who now realizes that the individual is an American, announces in "Perfect English": Sir, would you like a menu in English so that you can order your Breakfast?"
Individual is now taken back that his attempts to use the native language are insulting the Waitress at best and at the worst he had just made a fool of himself in front of all of the patrons of the resturant.
This is why I NEVER publically make fun of folks who cannot understand nor comprehend either English nor a foreign language. When I could not understand a post in French, for instance, I asked another person here for help. I did not want to trust my limited knowledge in that language before replying. As it turns out, my understanding of the problem was incorrect, but I did have a few questions about the problem which utimately gave a solution.
So, if you think your English is bad, don't try my German (Duetsch).

AHAHAA! Great story. Similar to my attempt to ask a cop where there was a bathroom in Madrid. Didn't know spanish. So I tried first to speak in french. Didn't work. Then I tried Latin (you know, the mother tongue...). Didn't work. Then the cop asked me "what do you want" in english. Got the nearest head right away.
Conclusion: folk in Europe are offended when Americans try to learn their language and it's more efficient to just speak in English.

(PS: It's a true story, I'm not trying to offend anyone but just be funny...but my french is so bad that everyone I met in Paris preferred I speak english since it was more comprehensible) |

That would be very funny. Think of the movie "Lost in Translation".
