Yep, that's the desk. That's the guy. That's the company. Rather
coincidental that it got revealed via a webpage on Sun Microsystems
considering they used to be my employer...
To clarify a few things:
1) The company contracted me, not the individual.
2) The individual (Darrell Cavens) was not pulling a 'power-trip' to try
to get the desk. The company initiated the offer original (after they
heard he was a LEGO fan -- it's a long story I won't go into).
3) Yes, my website is currently dead to the world because of this
slashdot-ting.
4) Oh, and technically, I am not a member of LUGNET (whoever was batting
that around) [grin]
mystery solved, I guess.
cheers,
eric
