Or, as they say, MonkChips has left the building.

I am off to Greece for a week with my beautiful wife. I will not be passing go, i will not be collecting $200, and i will certainly not be doing any blogging. i dont even plan to answer my mobile phone if i can help it. I am away for a week, then fly straight off to New York to a Computer Associates event. hopefully their financials will be worked out by then…

Anyhow i wish you all the best of times, and MonkChips will be back before you know it.

Thanks everyone for all your comments and trackbacks this week. Much appreciated i must say. Special thanks to James Robertson, Dan Sholler, Jaime, Nick Gall, Catherine Helzermann, Alex Bosworth, Neil Ward Dutton and certainly Dr ITIL. Sorry if i forgot anyone, but its the nature of the beast.

If you need anything – ping [Stephen](http://www.redmonk.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Sogrady).

Oh yeah – huge news next week from SourceLabs. They have an amazing hire to announce. i can’t say anything but its a doozer. If you’re a journalist give them a call. Who knows..you might get a scoop.

Oh yeah on that note, congratulations Palimida on your first customer. Cisco – good job! Now that’s what i call a reference.

Anyway- i am out of here.
