Gordon — I was wondering what happened to you! Good to see you reading

Brussels has been great, though — despite the tough work schedule. Once I found Waterstone’s over near Brussels North, I started feeling a little more comfortable! With close to 90 minutes of training each day, I can get a ton of reading in. Have you had a chance to visit the US in the meantime?

Hi Yves,

We’re almost there! If you add in the collapse of Lehman together with the other various issues, I think we’ve done quite well. Actually, the original time estimates for the project were not realistic. That, plus a tremendous scope and few resources, give the delayed release such the negative impression.

But what we’ve got is pretty impressive at the moment. We’ll get to see it live in just a few days!

Hi Dude

So you joined the team at ING then? Told you the project time-scales were way out of left field dude in the first meeting we had of the project back in Jan 2008. Guess you did not see alot of the sun this summer if the first release of the project is due.

Just hoping that you start to enjoy yourself a little more over there in Brussels at ING and dont get to cold this winter. Hope to hear from you soon? How is the rest of the team?

Hi Tod, Nice to see you’re doing fine.
But a delay f a year before the release of the project is tremendous.
Again I’m not wondered anymore that we have a crisis in the financial sector haha
Hope you found you’re spot and still enjoying the work.
