Who the heck is this "Ron" guy???

Some of you have noticed that you're not getting email from Goutham anymore. The witty responses you're used to getting from him have been replaced by this sardonic guy who puts LOLDOGS and FailBlog pictures in his responses to support emails.

Well....That's Me. The New Guy. Not-Goutham.

As G said when he introduced me, I've been a TouchDown fan since almost day one. I was looking for a worthwhile Exchange client to sync my corporate email and stumbled across TouchDown and pinged Goutham when I couldn't get it to sync with the weird, bizarre Exchange 2003 environment that we used at my unnamed large magenta-themed mobile phone carrier-employer. A couple hours of sitting with G and running a debugger against my G1 and we were syncing email and all the other extraneous stuff that we try to ignore. (like weekly staff meetings)

One thing that was amazing to me about that brief troubleshooting session was how impressive G is at writing code, or whatever it's called these days. He's one of those people who sees code in pictures or something I can't begin to comprehend.

Better him than me, certainly, cause if I had written TouchDown it would force-close on you when you tried to create a recurring meeting at 4pm on Fridays.

The other thing that I was quite pleased to find when I left Microsoft and came here full time was how loyal our customers are.

Not empty-eyed, hipster, fixie-riding Apple fanatics, but smart, well read, reasonable people who would clearly rather have a lack of oxygen than a lack of Email. I actually enjoy talking to most of you (you know how you are). The fact that our little product allows you folks to do all that work-related stuff you need to do makes me warm all over.

Like it or not (probably not), you'll be seeing more of me and my posts on the blog. I'm Scottish, so it's not likely that I'll suppress some rant about something or another. There might even be some useful information here for you.

Cheers!

Ron
