Please, rednecks, learn to drive.
This is a public service rage announcement to all American drivers. Believe me, if you are a native U.S. citizen and operate a motor vehicle, you need to read this. You need to read it triple if you live in Georgia.


I'm going to be brief and to the point: learn what a pedestrian is, and how to inter…

On programming skill
I've noticed an interesting phenomenon.

Many programmers in the C++ and .Net realm absolutely love Visual Studio, and extoll its virtues as an IDE to everyone they meet. Then there are others who are not so impressed.

    Musing

    So, apparently, I'm the SE mod now.


    I haven't thought too much about specifics, but I'm interested in seeing what can be done with the forum. We've had some great discussions about software design and even programming language design there in the past, and I'd love to see that become more of a r…
