Somebody would have to check to make sure, but baz was trying to keep bidi
patch flow going well into 2005 (I can't find the post, but IIRC it was

When were you offered the job?

If I remember right, your resume mentioned you worked at Cygnus. I'd love
to know more about what happened in this. I think I saw mention of it on
"Revolution OS", but thats about all that I remember.
