It could easily be enhanced to manage OLAs as well. I'll probably post another entry to explain all of that in detail sometime later... or maybe I could just point you to the source if Orbitz open sources the Erlang/OTP app that I mention in my latest post? (nudge, nudge) Our session has been moved from alternate status to accepted!

JavaOne presentation acceptance and leaving Orbitz around the same time. Where have I heard that before? hehehe The solution sounds interesting. How are you locating your servers and handling failures and spikes? Matt, that situation sounds strangely familiar. JavaOne presentation acceptance and leaving Orbitz around the same time.

The syntax isn't that bad once you get into it but some of the function from the core libraries are a bit odd (code:add_patha to add a path at the beginning of the list) which kind of turns me off.

I talked to my manager at Orbitz about this before I left, and he was very gracious in dealing with the situation (Alex and I submitted the proposal before I resigned). We're still working out the details on both sides, but in principle the idea is that Orbitz Worldwide and Sears Holdings would co-present if we are called up as alternates. As you might recall, my former manager still uses sed and awk to process plain text files containing notes on his employees, so you aren't far off. :) This is further evidence that Orbitz is a great company... it certainly wasn't an easy decision to change jobs. I simply felt that after 8 years I was ready for something different. Thanks, Mike!

How will you handle the Orbitz/Sears thing? I recommend just use sand paper or a good metal file. Or sed. :) Congrats, Matt!
