Friday Quickies - March 9, 2007

No Incite today, but just a quick note of a couple of items of interest. Stuff that can't really wait until Monday.

1. DST - Remember that DST kicks in early Sunday morning. At this point, hopefully all the applicable patches have been applied. Though I wouldn't expect much to go haywire - you may want to check on Sunday morning - just to make sure.
   
   
2. SourceFire IPO - Congrats to Marty, Wayne and the rest of the SourceFire IPO. They priced the deal at $15 last night (here) and they should hit the public markets sometime this morning, trading with the symbol FIRE. In this kind of market environment, that is quite an accomplishment. I figure they'll take a quarter or two to get comfortable as a public company and then start buying some stuff.
   
   As META Group CEO, Dale Kutnick told us when we went public in 1996, "The IPO is just another step in the journey, now the real work begins." But it's a great milestone, and although it is only the beginning, it's a great accomplishment.
   

Big weekend for the Rothman's as well. My brother and his wife are at the hospital now awaiting the arrival of their second daughter. The boss and I are lending a hand by watching my niece Rachel until things get sorted out with the newest Rothman. I'm really excited to meet my new niece.

Have a great weekend.
