Yeah, that would be cool Smiley

So, Matthew, where are you? Is it time for 9toMS lunch already?

Posts by Microsoft employees are stamped with the "Microsoft" widget.

I considered sticking with the "Maurits" account but then I'd be forced into a tricky decision:

1) Leave the "Maurits" account as is and forego the "Microsoft" stamps on all my posts
OR
2) Convince Charles / Adam / Erik / Duncan to set the "MS" bit on the "Maurits" account, which would put a "Microsoft" stamp on ALL "Maurits" posts.

1) is confusing because it looks like I'm not a Microsoft employee, when I am.
2) is confusing because it looks like I have been a Microsoft employee for years, even though I have not.

So I decided to go transparent.

Get wasted, that's what I'd do.

I thought Zeo went out and bought a $45 steak and danced with a bunch of n'ked women.

Okay, they weren't n'ked, but according to him they were attractive.

I certainly hope Maurits doesn't say "well, I'm going to go into my room and balance a few chemical equations".

Drink up! [6]

I never knew you were into that stuff, I'd have thought you'd like to work with some department doing web stuff.
