An Entirely Other Day: July 29, 2000

Code, nerd culture and humor from Greg Knauss.

Jul 29 2000

Today is the first anniversary of Continuus Software Corporation's IPO, an event that had all the terrible, slow-motion horror of a motorcycle accident. As of yesterday's close, the stock had dropped to a scanty one and nine-sixteenths, less than a fifth of the original offering price and a new all-time low.

Once you subtract out what I paid for them, my oh-so-New-Economy pre-public options -- my bonus for putting up with the howler monkeys that ran the place for two years -- are now worth:

$16.09

Not counting commissions and taxes, of course.

Hi there! My name's GREG KNAUSS and I like to make things.

Some of those things are Web sites (like the Webby-nominated Metababy and The American People), software (both commercial and open-source, including contributions to projects like CPAN and XScreenSaver) and stories (for Web sites like Suck and Fray, print magazines like Worth and Macworld, and books like "Things I Learned About My Dad" and "Rainy Day Fun and Games for Toddler and Total Bastard").

My e-mail address is greg@eod.com. I'd love to hear from you!
