SySAM, take 3
First things first, I want to wish everyone a belated 'Happy Holidays' and wish everyone a 'Happy New Year'. 2007 was a busy year for me, and as we start off 2008, my gut tells me it's going to be just as busy as last year if not more so. Now, having said that, I wanna blog about SySAM one more time.

IT and the Secret of Life
Often times, engineers here at Sybase ask me “where’s the market going”. I wish I knew. If I did, I could trade stocks for a few minutes a day and forego all this fun. But I’m a better evangelist than stock picker, so I’ll stick to that, for now at least.
The question of where the market is going, of what our users need next, always reminds me of the comedy film “City Slickers” in which Curley, a scarey old cowboy (played by the recently-departed Jack Palance) asks Mitch (played by Billy Crystal) if he knows what the secret of life is.
Mitch sets up the zinger by answering “No, what?”. Curley, never wasting a word, holds up a single index finger and says, “One thing, just one thing…”. Mitch impatiently asks what the one thing is, to which Curley replies “That’s what you’ve got to figure out.”
Curley was right, you have to figure out the one thing.
