A week or two ago, one of the technical interns from the other EB team asked me if I’ve ever considered starting my startup after finding out that I’m actually an Eclipse committer. I pretty much just shrugged it off.

Really, the thought has never crossed my mind and I’m really not the kind of person that would do something like this. If someone I know needed a hand, I wouldn’t mind having a lengthy discussion to see whether I was a fit for their new company. However, I just really don’t see myself being the one to take the initiative.

Yesterday I was told to make sure I changed my wallpaper before I start demoing to people because an anime character isn’t exactly the best of ideas. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t reflect well on me professionally, but I guess there’s just no love for Shana here at IBM. :(
