More Motricity Thoughts

The possibility that many of my friends at Motricity might be laid off, and the possibility that they ALL may be laid off if Motricity moves to Washington has got me thinking about my ~3 year stint at “The Mo.”

I left Motricity in April of 2007 because I disagreed with how the IT department was being run. Everyone has to draw their line in the sand when it comes to a job, and when you reach that line you have to decide whether to move the line, or find a new job. I chose the latter. That being said, I have no regrets what-s0-ever in regard to my time at Motricity. The IT professionals I worked with at Motricity were top notch, and all-around great people. I learned a lot at Motricity and because of my time there my career has gone in a very positive direction. I wish everyone I worked with at Motricity all the luck in the world, and if there is any assistance I can offer them during this time of “flux” I will.

Can’t Say I’m Shocked

With More Investors in the Tent, Motricity Undergoes Painful Changes

From WRAL.com :

“Word leaked to WRAL Local Tech Wire and WRAL.com about massive layoffs across Motricity’s holdings. In a company of 600 people or so, layoffs in the three figures is huge. Plus there’s talk that Motricty’s still-new tent – er, headquarters – is in play with the possibility it might be relocated to Bellevue, Wash.”

Next Generation To Take A Pass On Aerosmith

“We are aware the classic American band has, since their rise to fame in the 1970s, repeatedly come out of nowhere to penetrate popular culture…but we are respectfully declining. No Aerosmith for us, thanks.”

Time Machine Wackiness

From MacOSXHints.com :

“A little-known fact about Time Machine is that it depends on the MAC address of a computer to tell one system from another. This means that if you have your Mac repaired with a new logic board, or replace your system with a new one, you can’t resume backups where you left off.”
