Farewell

I managed to finish firmware yesterday. Good!

Yesterday afternoon I had a long farewell lunch at the airport with our guest from France. He is a rather smart guy, who had been staying at the Institute for a month trying frantically to use our main product for real and succeeeding in that. Despite all the problems; including starting working week later than planned. I always felt that we were not treating him nicely because we had been busy doing other thing and not going out for lunch or giving him too little support using our products. However, much to my surprise he said that compared to his previous stay in German (three months) we were very friendly and supportive. In fact, he invited me to visit France and I promised to do so.

Beforehand I was very reluctant to spend some extra time, but now it looks like time well spent. Time spent with our clients is rarely time wasted.
