Just poking my head in to say that I technically never departed ReadySet — what happened was that I co-founded the company, but was so burnt-out when it came to databases after my PhD that I decided to leave the running of the company to others. Then, US visa regulations made it so that I couldn't really be involved _at all_ if I wasn't an actual employee, which meant I truly was "just a founder" with no real involvement in the company's execution if you will. Now that I'm back in Europe, that's changing a bit, and I have regular calls with the CEO and such!

Thanks so much for your work! Visa problems are a bane on the US. I hope that this situation will improve for you and get better in the future.
