Home after a month

by Anand Lal Shimpi on June 9, 2005 12:18 AM EST
After being away from home for just under a month, Vinney and I are finally back. I couldn't have done the trip without her by my side, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. After E3, Computex and WWDC back to back, I finally get to sleep at home and not in a hotel, which is just plain wonderful.

I'm going to head to bed now, but I should be able to ease back into things starting in the morning.

Goodnight folks.

    Hey guys, we all are anticipating the xbox360 vs ps3 article. but let's give Anand a break. I'm sure when the article does come out, it will be worth the wait. Don't forget, the guy's sick too.

    Get well soon Anand.

    AT, fuck off man, I don't care if you are in love with Anand and if he's your "lord" or whatever you want to call him.

    A LONG TIME AGO, he said he would have the article for the next day after letting us know he was working on it, not having the article for what? Almost a month now? He KNEW he was going to be busy, what he's doing is just being irresponsible.

    I'm sure he cares about having visitors or else this site would go to hell, don't be stupid.

    As for Anand, well man, you have to be a little more responsible in that respect, why tell us a date you are sure NOT going to meet? Why not just tell us you are working on a 360 and PS3 article that will be ready "when it's done" like some major game developers have said it, that way there's no dissapointments, there's a lot less pressure, I'm hoping to see the article, it's good to know you are working on it, AT LEAST you gave us an update on the situation.

    Thanks.

    Anand, do you think it would be possible to get one of Apple's Intel devkits and compare it to your IBM G5 system? That could be a follow up to the recent PPC vs. x86 article, compairing PPC and x86 performance under OSX.

    Thanks, Yusef

    #13: Okay, AT. You're freaking me out a bit.

    #16: Interesting way of looking at it, x. I hadn't thought of it that way, but in a way, you're right. Anand, Tom, Kyle and several others ARE sort of our equivalent of rock stars. Or perhaps more accurately TV news anchors.

    Must be weird to be a rock star in the world of hardware geeks.

    I can't believe all the bickering! You guys sound like a bunch of little kids fighting over your parents affection (i.e. who Anand cares about more).

    If you can't wait for something, then move along. That is your choice. Saying that you could get it done means nothing to Anand because we're all in different situations and know nothing about the others' predicaments. Trying to pressure or demand something out of someone by making idle threats surely isn't the smart way of doing things. That's the same type of people that walk into a store and expect every employee to bend over backwards for your patronage, and if they don't, you promise never to return (only to show up the next day).

    Grow up and stop acting like babies. If you feel that unloved, go to a freaking councelor. No amount of bullying to any human being is going to make you feel better - and every human being should not bend over to your whims just because you're a customer of sorts. Get help quick.


    Ok, I'm off my soap-box now. Take your time Anand, I'd rather have it done thoroughly than rushed and poor quality. Personally, I'm not looking forward to the article, but in my free time I enjoy reading most of the stuff on your site, so I'm sure it'll be informative.

    Thanks,

    Anand, while at WWDC, did you stop by and visit your new homie at Google?
  • AT - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link

    I love Anand he is the best. If our Lord Anand wants us to wait, wait we shall. If he can not do more than one thing at once, who can blame him, for he is the Lord, and we but his minions, he blesses us with powers he himself does not have, what humility and compassion

    Praise Anand

    Bye Pinkus. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

    I want the article as bad as the next guy. But it's not my site, it's Anand's. He assures us that it's still on the way. And if we have to wait just a little bit longer to get a better written, more informative article, then so be it.
