Alright guys, every time I open my mouth in Si-list I seem to be "getting
some". So Paul and Patrick if you feel offended, my usual apology.
I started this DesignCon thread as genuinely happy to meet some of the
Si-list people. And I truly thought it was a good "pay back" time for some
of the Si list people to get back on me for all the bad language I used in
the pass few years. Just ask Steve what kind of joke he pulled on me in
front of the crowd in DesignCon. If you want to meet for lunch next time,
I'll bring the pie so that you can throw at me.
What I do for a living is not relevant. Read back the old Si-list a few
years back and I was blamed for consultant bashing, now I am blamed as a
pimp consultant.
Call me anyway you want but don't ignore my message. I don't shoot from my
hip and everything I said is from my own experience not hearsay.
Criticize me on the data I deliver, not the way I deliver it. If I have a
thick enough skin to stay in the list you should have a thick enough skin to
tell me where I got my facts wrong. I really want to hear it.

I have been at this SI stuff since the mid 80's. Respected by some, not
so by others. I freely admit and accept that. Having made it to the
level of Director at AMP/tyco for dozen or so years, and finding myself
once again on my own, I wish that those of you whom hold the consultant
with great disdain, stop and think about the following:
1. A nice, periodic paycheck
2. Health care
3. Holidays
4. family leave
5. bonuses
6. sleeping at night.
Could you imagine how it feels to know that you do not have any
contracts/proposals in the works and wondering how to make tomorrow's
dinner, let alone a 401K contribution?
As a good marriage can be fleeting, so can your career. We all have to
do what we need to exist. While I do not personally know Chris, I am not
aware of any mis-conduct. To blast him for trying to eek out a living is
way out of bounds of the engineers creed.
Just think again about being on your own.....

Guys,
Chris Cheng purposely acts like this to gain notoriety for the purpose =
of promoting his consulting services.
Please ignore him. The more you publicly "take offense, etc.", the more
= he is getting exactly what he wants.
Regards,
Patrick
