resigned today. He recieves a severance package of $960,000. (That's about as much as an Assistant Professor makes in 20 years).
Radmind continues to frustrate me. I've figured out one problem with it, though. Two of the utilities, lapply and lcreate, can easily fail partway through multihour downloads or uploads, due to minor problems with the loadsets. For example, if you create a transcript for a loadset and then use lcreate to upload it, it will fail if any of the files has changed size. Log files (which MacOS X has sprinkled throughout the OS) change size frequently. Several times, I've started uploads only to come back later and find that it has failed because some minor logfile was the wrong size. Its especially stupid to have this cause the upload to fail because you are supposed to recheck all the info once its on the server anyway and update all the sizes and checksums. When it happens with lapply, the problem is even more serious because when an update fails half-way through being installed, it often will result in the system being unbootable.
