I was in the middle of writing something at the conf, sorry for being abrupt, I just subscribed to your feed. If you’re a programmer you must know what it’s like. I think I was working on the driver for Echo format. Not sure. Anyway I hope to talk with you next time.

Impose on Dave? Oh puuuuuuuhhleeze! If anything people but forth tremendous energies just to have do just what Greg’s shown here; dismiss them because only his priorities reign.

Now, in fairness, everyone sets their own priorities. What’s galling here is Dave nearly ever time turns the story around (through what are nearly flat-out lies) and makes the contributors look like the problem. It’s a classic narcissms trait.

I’ve always been confused when someone is an asshole to one person and friendly to another, for no apparent reason. Is he an asshole or not? It’s a tough call.

DW has celebrity status (at least among techies) which means that people impose on him often. I’m sure being Tiger Woods in public is a nightmare.

Ah yes, the “Don Park started this meme that Mark Pilgrim was a stalker so now I’m going to mention him in the same breath as a real stalker and hope that the association sticks in everyone’s mind” post. Not that Grohol is a stalker, mind you, although I’m sure Dave saw it that way. Whatever.

Have you read Kevin Burton’s account? It’s hysterical.
