Offline again. Be back later.

Relationships and contracts

Last Friday I was out having lunch with a group of friends. There was a cadre of women in the table next to us (along with an older, pot-bellied guy who looked like an eunuch), discussing quite openly male and female behavior. One of the women kept making the point that infidelity […]

On a tangent: Looking for an ASP.Net programmer

We’re looking to hire an ASP.Net developer for a long-term project. We’re a small team and want to keep growing by adding dedicated, team-oriented people with a sense of humor and a deep love of personal freedom.

Offline life has been was much interesting lately. I’ll be back later.

Dating advice books nonsense

These sort of books have always seem self-disqualifying to me.

Man, that fade from Breakdown into The Raven.

Happy new year, everyone.
Things have been a bit quiet on the update front, I know. I’ve been in Rumania the past two weeks, visiting Vero (who was there for the holidays) and traveling the countryside. I have several metric tons of photographs, which I’ll be uploading during the week, plus a travelogue I’m […]

Meet Vero

( Personal )

For those of you that had seen her only outlined, here’s a photo of Vero. She looks serious as a heart attack but trust me, she laughs a lot. I just have to edit one of the ones where she at least smiles, wrinkling her nose up a bit.

There is a major difference between knowing something and understanding it. Knowing something means that specific bit of knowledge is embedded in your brain, a hopefully permanent item in one of the drawers of your mental filing cabinets, whereas understanding goes merely archiving it for future retrieval: implies dissecting it, analyzing it, and finally […]
