Not making code extremely readable. Making all code "object-oriented" (scare quotes intentional). Not valuing automated builds. S Law Which s...

The eschatologically-inclined must be getting very excited given events of the past 5 years: Y2K, 9/11, the start of WWIII (arguably), and now international tsunamis. But what is a rational psychological response to such things? Amy and I ...

Thoughts on family, philosophy,. Monday, April 04, 2005. Where did March go? I've been a Bad Blogger and haven't posted for over a month. How could this happen? Simple answer: Work. I've been insanely busy at my job; working at 10pm or midnight or worse has not been uncommon. I spent the only beautiful weekend of March working about 30 hours from Friday 5pm to Sunday noon. And finally: Elias stands. He has become very good at grabbing onto chairs etc. and getting up to a stand. Weeks ago this...

http://scripsit.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts on family, philosophy,. Tuesday, January 25, 2005. I read an article about Aubrey de Gray, who is convinced that the problem of aging can and will be solved in the next 30 to 100 years.

http://scripsit.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts on family, philosophy,. Monday, August 30, 2004. Turns 15 today. That's days. Maybe it's the fact that I can't talk to him yet that's motivating me to blog. The great thing about writing is its permanence - 30-year-old Eli will be able to read my thoughts about him and the world 30 years before. Consider: how enriching would it be to be able to review your parents thoughts when they were much, much younger? So this is what it is,. Writing software, that sounds so boring.
