I'm probably not too surprisingly somewhat unhappy about this turn of
events.

I put a decent amount of effort into forging a relationship with
Tridigital and getting them to trust us, including some informal
conversations with the CEO where they basically promised to work with
us on delivering this on time and on budget even if it required a lot
of nights and weekends, and volunteering to discount hours if necessary
as well.  But at the same time saying that if they finished early they
would only bill us for time spent.  I feel that together with Tridigital
we were able to put together a fairly good piece of mutually beneficial
business, and I was fairly proud of that.

Now that trust is probably mostly wiped away (time will tell) and that's
a damn shame.  Onstor may loose out on what I think would have been a
very fruitful collaboration.

I guess there's nothing really to be done.  I just wanted to let folks
know where I was.
