Half a Decade

I got out of the arrival lounge and spotted the man holding a placard with my name on it. Soon I was inside a cab taking me down the beautiful but narrow road outside the airport

I wonder if it's an occasion to celebrate, but thanks anyway :)

Life is full of occasions to celebrate :)

Does time fly ;)?

[code_martial]

Oh, it does fly. And it flew you half way around the globe as well.

It was, indeed. I was spoiled for the 4 weeks I spent in the guest house. There even was an attendant and a cook living full-time in there!

Yahoo!'s fortunes took a major beating over the last three years but it still is a big league player for sure. They're not gonna be creating ontologies now but data processing and analysis remains a major effort. Sunnyvale and neighbourhood is a nice place to live. Do give 'em a try. Good luck!

You said.. Yahoo, but not Yahoo!

Don't know is that correct or not .?

People who work at Yahoo! are known as Yahoos. Yahoo is a person. Yahoo! is a company. At least that's how it was according to the brand guidelines and that's what makes sense as well (yahoo is a real word, ya know).

It pisses me off no end to see the distinction not being honoured even in official communication coming out of the company. This is the lack of attention to detail that seems to have permeated throughout the company's products. Anyhow, not my problem anymore.

Gotcha !

Anyhow I also can say 'Congrats !' on this occasion...!!
I know you are no more a Yahoo, but I can still wish you !

Cheers!
