http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2004/08/30/222702.aspxWell, the day was pretty much a wash, work-wise. I spent most of the day swapping war stories with co-workers. On the other hand, the 20 dozen bouncy balls I brought into work were a huge hit. Bouncy balls have long participated in Microsoft events, Hansen-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2004/08/30/222702.aspx#222924Mon, 30 Aug 2004 22:01:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:222924Keith Moore [exmsft]Congrats, Larry! <br> <br>P.S.

The other half's much worse. <br>http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2004/08/30/222702.aspx#223054Tue, 31 Aug 2004 01:07:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:223054Norman DiamondThe bouncy ball page says: <br> <br>&gt; The second big war came about when after <br>&gt; many years of no security, the company <br>&gt; finally decided to get a security guard. <br> <br>Oh no. So many people were complaining about security, saying that Microsoft doesn't get it. And then when Microsoft DOES get it, a war breaks out. We can't win.http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2004/08/30/222702.aspx#223174Tue, 31 Aug 2004 07:34:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:223174robdelacruzCongrats and savor the moment! Enjoyed reading all your 'it was ___ years ago today' posts, lots of good history and inspiring stories there.

Apart from the big-ass coffee-table book published a few years ago, the odd business-centric book, and a selection of blogs, there's not much in the way of &quot;History of MSFT&quot; books about. Just you and Raymond Chen probably have enough material for several volumes of interesting insights into MSFT, and a lot of people on your list of names could probably add a lot more to the mix... I know I'd buy it!http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2004/08/30/222702.aspx#580192Fri, 21 Apr 2006 01:18:38 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:580192Korby Parnell's Gotdotnet WunderkammerThis pleasant surprise awaited my return to work yesterday from signing the closing papers on my first...http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2004/08/30/222702.aspx#9789039Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:18:23 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9789039 Larry Osterman s WebLog So what d I do on Friday | debt consolidator<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://mydebtconsolidator.info/story.php?id=23005">http://mydebtconsolidator.info/story.php?id=23005</a></p>
