  • The thing that always impressed me with Paul is he seems to genuinely enjoy entertaining people. You hear about bands complaining that they hate playing certain songs, out right refusing to play their hits, or phoning in their concerts. But not Paul. I saw him a few years ago and he put on a 3 hour nonstop show. His band took breaks but he just kept going. I can’t even begin to guess the number of times he’s played Hey Jude, but every time I’ve seen him play it he seems to be genuinely enjoying himself.










  • I’ve worked in IT consulting for over 10 years and have never once lied about the capabilities of a product. I have said, it doesn’t do that natively, but if that’s a requirement we can scope how much it would take to make it happen. Sadly my company is very much the exception.

    The worst I saw was years ago I was working on an infrastructure upgrade of a Hyper-V environment. The client purchased a backup solution I wasn’t familiar with but said it supported Hyper-V. It turns out their Hyper-V support was in “beta”. It wasn’t in beta. They were literally using this client as a development environment. It was a freaking joke. At one point I had to get on the phone with one of their developers and explain how high-availability and fail-over worked.
