Nah, I'm not really duking it out with him. It's a traditional
game we're playing: I yank his chain, and sooner or later he'll say
something stupid that I can add to his list of comic
characteristics. So far we've got his imagined high life, his panty
sniffing escapades and his cheating on his wife. Thing is that
nobody's sure if he even has a wife because that's part of his
imagined high life. Also, on his part he tries to prove that I'm
lying about my qualifications, life and all, and ends up proving my
bona fides instead - it's all very Inspector Clouseau. 
Anyway, it's been busy. Been hammering out a licensing deal with a
Japanese electronics company, and hopefully I'll get it all tied up
by Monday before going back to Melbourne on Tuesday - at the rate
we're going, we need their manufacturing muscle. On top of that, a
mate's just offered me a cut in a consulting deal with some of his
larger clients, so we've been sorting out the details and talking
to some of the clients. The fun part about that is that I never
realised that Microsoft people were such party animals.
On top of that, some of the guys from my old unit got into a
boating accident last night, so I've got to factor in time to go
see them in the hospital as well.
There's no rest for the wicked, I swear.
