He went to work for Google on the 15th of Janurary. His blog has not been updated since. Should we make inqueries? ;-)

never mind - it was updated, but I was getting a network error...

In fact, the followup to his original entry is interesting to Google tech watchers:

It's for the first time I see such a large engineering group developing exclusively on Linux. Development happens in C, Python and Java using (X)Emacs and/or vi. Everybody seems to be a Linux hacker, with their own desktop and emacs customizations. I was originally planning to do development on my MacOS X laptop, but I've quickly decided to go back to my roots and use XEmacs on Linux.

The cool thing is that most ideas that you see on the public Web site are driven by engineers.

Wow - a company (corporate?) that understands that engineers are creative people!

The thing with the emacs is really news to me. Another big bonus point for google (from the perspective of a mac maniac like me).

However, someone should let Ovidiu know, that there is in fact no good belgium beer. ;)
