Separately I'm wondering if "jnoller" is still working at Rackspace. Noting that there was a flurry of activity on HN from his comments that appeared to have stopped about a month ago.
He is; he's part of the Developer Relations Group. I know he's been on vacation recently, that's probably part of the reason he hasn't posted as often.
Yup. Still employed happily at rackspace. Just been on vacation at home the last few weeks. Also, busy busy busy - I come back to work then off to codemash! I don't spend all of my time here :)
