This is where I put some of my notes on programming that I discover. Okay, there is other stuff here too. Now my favorites list in IE is very long. Hmmm...
"
I believe the hard part of building software to be the specification, design, and testing of this conceptual construct, not the labor of representing it and testing the fidelity of the representation."

EditIt's always been done that way
A man, recently married, watches his wife prepare a roast for dinner. To his amazement, just before placing the roast into the pan, she slices off about two inches of meat on either end and throws them away. When he expresses surprise at her actions, she replies, "It makes the roast taste better. Besides, my mother always did it that way." Curious, he calls his wife's mother and asks her if she also cuts the ends off of her roasts, and why. "Because it makes the roast taste better. Besides, my mother always did it that way." Determined to find out where this custom comes from, he calls his wife's grandmother, and when she agrees that she, too, cuts off the ends of her roasts when she prepares them, he asks why. Promptly, she replies, "Because my pan is too small to hold it all."

I know I’m not a
5:01 developer even though I try to leave work before 5:30pm. I get to work a little late because I need to drop my son off to school. What I love doing is sitting on the couch at home with my laptop and tinkering around with code learning new stuff. The family life is very important. They keep my head out of the computer screen. Now if only my little toe will heal after subbing it when running around with my son.
