Being BileBlogged - (Found July 2, 2008 )

I've been "BileBloged". Getting "biled" is an honor. It means Hani Suleiman has dedicated one of his BileBlog entries to me, bitching and moaning as only he can. In this case he's biling about a talk I gave on open source at the TSS Symposium in Vegas this afternoon. But sadly -- instead of a good healthy lampooning of my actual beliefs and words -- Hani put words in my mouth. That's just not right. I've gotta bile back.
