Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because this particular game was incredibly story driven

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so i started working for this company called ksplice which
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,develped this tecnhology where... its basically a
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kernel module for linux that would allow you to take a patch

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,person to work with so, i ended up working there for 3 years
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,?? eventually was sold to oracle and that was a
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learning experience

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so at the end of a year and a half at oracle i just decided

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so as a part of the process to leaving boston I had this
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whiteboard in my room and i went through and listed all
