Guess when we re-implemented this process in JAX-RPC.

…And I still don’t have the connection working. All this is in the dev environment, at least. Gods help me if it went to production like this.

To Do...

-Reach the top 10 on FreshMeat/SourceForge. -Give a talk at OSCON. -Get a book published by O’Reilly. -Have at least 10 developers ask for autographs of said book. -Have lunch with Yukihiro Matsumoto.

…At least, that’s the current plan.

I followed Diana out into the living room. I thought she was in the mood, which was good, but as I looked around I thought we were in a stranger’s house, which was bad. She was saying something to me insistently, but I have no clue what.

It was only after I’d already been fiddling with the cables for more than a minute that I realized we were at home, that Diana was actually asking me to fix the XBox, and that it was 3 AM and I was groggy as hell.

Well, I didn't wonder how I stood it until NOW...

This is an article about founding startups, by the way. And in it, the author explicitly advises anyone with a family NOT to do so.

Dammit, dammit, dammit.

[Edit: Wait a minute… who cares? I’m more likely to get my name out there with an open-source project than with a startup anyway.]

More wisdom...

Find someone you respect, and emulate them. Your brain won’t work right if you don’t exercise your body.
