11/11   I posted several days ago about Soda dropping me about an hour of
        inactivity while using TTSSH.  I found that PuTTY actually has
        "sending null packet to keep session alive" option builtin.  This
        option works for me.  BTW, John's original suggestion of
        'spinner' didn't quite work.  It keeps randomly dieing due to
        "unable to open TTY for writing."
        \_ Weird, I've never gotten that.  Spinner is a bit of a PITA as it
           doesn't get along with most scrollbars.  If I can, I usually do
           the X forwarding/xclock thing, it leaves your tty alone.  -John

        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.

5/19    I'm working for an early stage startup, and they want to grant me
        stock options.  However, they are claiming that I must either pay
        tens of thousands of dollars to purchase the options at the
        current valuation, or have it be taken as personal income when I
        (eventually) try to cash out.  It seems that both of these
        are terrible choices.  Are there any other ways to deal with
