Carmack is definitely someone who was determined -- and quick.
When Carmack was working (I think on Quake), you could follow his todo list, which he kept stored in a .plan file on his server. If you used the Unix shell command "finger johnc@idsoftware.com" command, it would send the text of that file. It was pretty amazing to watch him crank through his tasks in near real time.

He is also pretty good at poker, apparently: http://www.ntk.net/1998/02/13/?l=114#l http://www.ntk.net/1998/02/13/?l=114#l
