I’ve been meaning to do this for some time but not sure what was the best way. And then the idea appeared. Why not collect all the posts I liked the most in one place. Why not add a page that could always be accessed from the tabs at the top of [...]
Brian Madden interview of Brian Nason and Sumit Dhawan about Trinity
Brian Madden was on an interviewing roll when he came to Citrix headquarters late last year. I’ve already covered two of these interviews in previous blogs (Mark Templeton and Brad Pedersen) and now it’s time to cover the interview with Brian Nason and [...]
When do things become too clever? When is it time to stop being too clever? Most places that have cultures that embrace progress also fully believe in becoming more clever.

Citrix rebounds — after a close call with Bill [...]
Net6 was a company based out of San Jose, California that Citrix acquired in November 2004. I was part of the due diligence team that was sent to analyse the company from a technical point of view.
