On December 18, 1998, I quit my job at
Geoworks, an OS
development company. I'd worked there for eight years.
I had only a vague plan for the future: do some travelling and
look for work when calmer.
It's pretty easy to arrange a trip to
Seattle. Once
the holidays had calmed down a bit, I headed on up.

- If the chapter titles to this travelogue seem strange, I guess it's
time I came clean: they're the names of tracks on an album by the
Revolting Cocks. Some names match the contents of their chapters
more or less. Others don't. This is one of the others.
