The autumn of my discontent

... is made glorious summer by this sun of (a little town just outside) Stuttgart. Nearly six months after the second demo, more than eighteen months after the first demo, the Major Player In The Auto Industry has finally put pen to paper and its money where its mouth is, and bought a copy of the database. Only one copy, alas, I had hoped to sell them a client/server system; still, it'll double my income this month and that is much better than the proverbial poke in the eye with a pointed stick.

In probably unrelated news, I have a headache and a queasy stomach. I shall take a few more aspirin and go to bed. Good night, sleep well.
