Joel on Software - Lord Palmerston on Programming

Joel on Software - Painless Software Schedules

The Art of Unix Programming - I need this book.


Whenever I take the time to read about software and programming, it re-opens my eyes to how little I really know. It boggles the mind.

Brian has posted his first journal entry since Darin's passing on November 8th. Last night was the first time Brian and I had the chance to talk since the accident.

It's so hard to know what to say when someone dies. Especially when the person is so young and it happens so abruptly. It's so disruptive to the normal mindset that our friends are always going to be around and we'll get to experience all of life together.

I didn't really get to spend that much time with Darin until this summer, but I'm glad we were able to take so many ski trips. He was always a blast to have in the boat, even (or especially) when he and Brian couldn't agree how much distance to keep between us and the bank.

The OU Sucks Project

| | Comments (9)

Apparently a bunch of weiners have succeeded in tilting Google site rankings so that searching for "Miserable Failure" returns George Bush's biography.

It's time to use that strategy for something useful. Namely, letting the world know that OU sucks.

If you want to join the cause, just be sure to proclaim to the world that OU sucks on every web site that you can.

You can even copy this and paste it into your site if you're lazy.
