Paradigm shift...

Well, without any great fuss or fanfare, I've had a couple of 'firsts' in the last few days. Last Thursday I met Kim Cameron for the first time, along with Caspar Bowden and Jerry Fishenden, and we had a very engaging chat about identity, liberty (with and without a capital L ;^), privacy and related matters. Many thanks to Jerry, Microsoft's UK National Technology Officer, for hosting that one. And yesterday I had my first visit to Microsoft's UK campus at Thames Valley Park. In the interests of 'breaking them in gently', I felt I had to wear my "Sun Java Web Services" shirt. Well, I think they are going to need to get used to seeing a Sun logo onsite a lot more than it would have been in the past! And no, the shirt did not spontaneously ignite as I walked through the badge-locked doors... And on the 'flammability' theme, I have to report that our hosts didn't have horns, tails or little pointy forks. In fact, we had a very positive and relaxed meeting and made huge progress. Thanks this time to Gary Kelly for hosting us and making us feel extremely welcome. I genuinely look forward to working with you and your colleagues over the coming months... I probably should have handed this in at reception on the way out, but under the circumstances it seemed a good souvenir! badge
