    I wanted to remain a technical adviser for Id, but it just didn't work out. Probably for the best, as the divided focus was challenging.

        @notch You play a part in my recent history -- something you wrote helped reminded me of something I had been letting slip away. Thanks.

        @xernobyl I have *LESS* free time now. Oculus is a startup. If you are at a startup and you have free time, you are doing it wrong.
