I just started work at Bing, so don’t expect many (any) blog posts for the next month or two.

Actually, the real reason is that I have stopped working on Fing until I can finish my dissertation revisions. There aren’t many—I estimate about a month’s worth—but who knows how much furniture/clothes/computer/phone shopping will interfere on the weekends. If there’s one thing I’ve learned during the move, it’s that serious shopping takes FOREVER. Also that it’s really tiring.

But that means that I won’t have anything super interesting to write about in the form of Fing code analysis. Or even anything at all, since I guess “super interesting” is about three notches about the normal fare for this blog.

Oh, and I just went through the Mandatory Online Legal Training today. So let me remind you: I do not speak for Bing or Microsoft on this blog. Even if I do discuss Bing, I do not do it in an official capacity, and my statements should not be taken to be indicative of any Bing policies or future directions. I’m not even going to tell you my microsoft e-mail address, except to say that it’s like 10 times better than the alphabet soup I got from Indiana University. I must have been at least the 23rd Nathan Sanders to go to IU.

And now that I know all about trademark law, who knows whether Fing will continue to be called Fing. I may have to change the name to F#$`ing after all.
