As much as I loved many of Stephensen's books, I could not get into Anathem.

I recently hate-read Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. I had started reading it twice and stopped after a few chapters. I am aware that the book is meant to be satire, but the point of satire is to be to the point instead of having to slog through 600+ pages of drivel.

I recently told a seven year old that I am a wizard. I already have the beard and being a programmer, that is exactly what my customers feel about my work.

I switcthed to barefoot shoes for hiking and everyday. They are the opposite of sturdy, but well worth the investment. As a guy in his late forties, I have fewer little nagging pains.

Running shoes because when you wear ill-fitting shoes, you will hurt yourself eventually.

Core developer of an open source software suite here. We make money by doing the following things:

  • We offer a free and open source community package that has the basics. However, we offer a number of professional packages that we offer yearly subscriptions for.
  • We host our software. We charge by the number of active users.
  • Custom development.
  • Paid support like migrations or troubleshooting. Also helping external developers develop custom modules.

This allows us enough income to develop the community part of the software.

Dvorak. I switched back in 2005 from qwerty and never looked back. I never looked forward either, so I may try out Colemak at some point in time. Workman looks solid for English, but I am not a native English speaker.
