As I noted in an earlier entry of Microspeak, the real estate department here has their own weird jargon. Today’s phrase is “delivering space”:
Listed below is the schedule for delivery of space over the next twelve months.
Translation: “Listed below is the schedule for when new office space will become ready for use over the next twelve months.”
Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
