I do understand to a degree, interaction is a bit easier in person and those random (often important) questions...you know, the ones in the hallway, are more likely to happen.<br /><br />Of course there is the cost to consider. That's difficult (in my mind) to justify all the time, but if the client deems it important, I won't argue.oraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-48940384816280683402010-01-16T09:36:23.021-05:002010-01-16T09:36:23.021-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604596574222999088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-59130337252361792752010-01-16T09:32:31.184-05:002010-01-16T09:32:31.184-05:00I started my career in consulting back in '93 ...I started my career in consulting back in '93 and discovered quickly how much happier I was then the poor souls who were worried about being downsized. I then moved into Professional Services which is consulting by another name and am now moving back into regular consulting. I found early on that I need change. Being committed to a single product, or project for years would waste away the remaining braincells I have left.<br /><br />With that said, I really feel for you making that drive. Will they let you use VPN and work from home some weeks? Most of the customers I worked with in consulting at Oracle didn't want to pay for travel and were more than willing to allow me to work from home. Once they get to know what your about, and what's important to you, it's a no brainer.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604596574222999088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-41267744669330624832010-01-15T11:06:23.033-05:002010-01-15T11:06:23.033-05:00I heard they only sold 20k Nexus One's and eve...I heard they only sold 20k Nexus One's and everyone was complaining about how much the coverage sucks. I think I will hold off for now.

That's the reason Oracle came up with Exadata.<br /><br />As for the Nexus: can't get to the bloddy ordering page even when using a proxy :-((Christian Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00238714807983505453noreply@blogger.com
