It wasn't too long ago that you expressed desire to go to work for them
(fueled partially by them located close to you?)

Now you have a chip.  What gives?

LOL!

Rick that pop's in without knowing anything about the subject.  Is it needed
to continue on that?  Derek Smart.. err Rick you have no clue about my past
relations with the company that is Ubisoft, whatever I worked or not with
them in the past, and how that has changed my view of their line of product,
game engine, working environment, etc..  It's none of your business.

I never mean't to pry but would it be fair to say that anything you posted
to a public NG such as RAS _was_ my business, given I'm a subscriber?

On several occasions your posts contained various torrid details of your
hopeful employment prospects with Ubisoft.  And, after that, your scorn for
someone NOT giving you a free ride/ticket to the 1998 Daytona, so you could
flash your face to Papyrus in person, in hopes of making a good impression.
And, hopefully get a job offer.

Again, I'm not prying or hacking this information out of your machine.  I'm
merely reading my NG subscriptions which include these articles you've
written.

This subject matter takes a special interest given that your father is one
of the engineers(?) who designed the space shuttle.  It would seem more
lucrative to follow in your father's footsteps, rather than become just
another starving playtester. ("playtestor" - D.R.W., circa 1997)

Actually, Jan, I'm more Belgian than French! ;-)
But GPL doesn't know it, and it still hates me a lot... (23 crashes in 1 lap
at Mexico! Anyone done better?)

Sure, and anything you posted to a public NG such as RAS _is_ my business
also, but I don't give an arse.  There is no need for me to talk to you
about my private life.  Whoever I worked for is none of your business, and
If I want to talk about it I will choose to do so, and to whom that is
interested to read my message.

Me? Working at Papyrus?  I couldn't even pass customs in the US (for reasons
that I won't talk about) for more than 6months.  I of course send
application whenever I can, just in case, but I doubt I'll ever get there.
I look forward to any job in any *** developpers, and Im not shy to say
such a thing.  Am I challenging the online-me? Somehow, yes...

Is monetary issue the only thing important in life?  I have much other
important things in my life to aspire than that.  Keeping good relations
with my friends, stabilising my family,  participating actively in the
society in which I live, etc...    I clearly not the type of person who
wants in the future a bungalow, two cars, a lawnmower and a nice fence.  Not
that there's anything wrong with that <g>  Im proud of what my father has
done, but that doesn't mean I wish to take his steps.
