Last weekend we had dinner at a friend to celebrate their child's birthday. They work at OCI in a very senior position and were heading out next day to troubleshoot that exact datacenter in Abilene, TX next day, to presumably yell at various people about cabling and schedule and whatnot. They were not looking forward to it because a) TX and b) it's Abilene TX and c) the overall situation.

We spoke quite a bit about this project, circular money and things and the impression I got is that OCI is just grabbing money while the perpetuum mobile is unrolling.

I am looking forward to hearing how the trip went when I see them next.
