I probably should write a longer reax to what I saw at Start Norfolk Friday and Saturday, but that can wait until later this weekend.<\/p>\n
I seriously blew the 30 seconds I had for the pitch after having microphone confusion. I did get to meet, speak with Aneesh Chopra, which was seriously cool. At the same time, I asked him why he’d gone around to invent a whole new process for technology acquisition. He said even the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) process took too long. <\/p>\n
That irks me a bit, but it’s perhaps emblematic of the modern Democratic Party, who’d rather not have any sort of investigation into their decision-making. SBIR is fast when compared to normal acquisition, but it forces people to compete<\/i>. When one of these things fails to work, which will<\/u><\/i> happen, where’s the accountability? <\/p>\n
As you can imagine, I have a lot to say about this, as well as reliance on “value” propositions. I was quite disappointed to see that academia is now embracing such nonsense. Of the seven elements of the “business model” presented in the first talk, only two are immediately quantifiable. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, my body got the best of me for the second half of Saturday, and today. I’m trying to be as well-prepared as I possibly can be for a full week of work.<\/p>\n
It is what it is; meanwhile, the Windows Server 2003 support end date of 14 July 2015 draws a week nearner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
