10. The Earth quakes and the heavens rattle;
the beasts of nature flock together and the nations of men flock
apart; volcanoes usher up heat while elsewhere water becomes ice
and melts; and then on other days it just rains. 11. Indeed do many
things come to pass.
--HBT; The Book of Predictions, Chap. 19
I work for ByAllAccounts as a "Senior Java Developer" working on backend development for our financial aggregation and wealth management application.
I'm spending my "free" time working on Lyntin (my Python-based mud client), PyBlosxom (Wari's Python-based blosxom derivative). and Stringbean (my own mud based on code written for Varium and Bluemud). In the rest of my spare time I read books, play occasional games, write music (who doesn't?), play guitar, read some more, play Boggle, work on projects I have lined up, work on my photo repetoire, and various other things. I'm pretty much always working on something. Even when I'm not working, I'm thinking about it.
I have antioxidants in my tea--do you?
I drive a 2001 Audi S4 which is my midlife crisis car--whee!
I used to live in Newport Beach, CA with some pretty cool folks: vipthelifestyle.com. I no longer live there, but I visit from time to time.
Back in college, I had problems with a certain individual who finally decided I was an elitist prick from New Hampshire. Which was true--but not for the reasons he described. To cope, we created a drinking game out of his idiosyncracies.
I've been called other things. One guy called me a sycophant the other day. But it's all good--I'm sure he's had a rough life to have become such an asshole.
