I am off on a new adventure

No, it's not back to Spain this time. In fact, I am not going anywhere but I am leaving Microsoft (again) at the end of June.

I am going into start-up mode, building applications on the back of a new wave of technology which frankly, was going nowhere at Microsoft.

Wish me luck, I am going to need it out there

I have no idea of what you are talking about, ( start up mode and back of new wave tech stuff etc.)

But I wish you good luck.

Yeah, good luck with that Simon, that's exciting. I hope it goes well so that you can tell us about it in English.

A new kind of intelligent search engine maybe?

Anyway, what you wrote sounds like someone who likes to spend his working time usefully / with actual interest into the matter. - And who even gives up quite a considerable position for it.

Very impressive! *thumbs up*
-

In case that it would indeed be about a search engine, I would be somewhat confident that if succesful and under your control this time the usual approach of frisking the people ( and passing on the data to sinister instances ) would be skipped.

( I see that one can´t escape the damn google tracing. Even when using other engines, it will still wedge in between.)
-

Good luck and all the best on the way!

PS:

A cousin of mine in Seattle / USA is working on a selective / generic search engine. In case it could be interesting to contact / exchange, let me know please.

Good choice Simon, and good luck with it.
I am curious about the new wave of technology also!

Best of luck, Simon.

When I left the mid-size corporation and started my consulting business, one of my friends who had done well in that business said to me, "In a few months, you will ask yourself a question."

"And the question will be?"

"Why didn't I do this ten years ago?"

He was right.
