A former housemate started a relationship with a cute girl. Of course, when non-geeks are around conversation must veer wildly away from anything in the field. But he said that she might be a bit geeky herself. Conversation turned towards computing when she was over a bit later on, and I let it go there. Said housemate and I were having an enormous bitch about Lotus Notes from shared work experience. She wore on a sour expression, and I thought my instincts had been shown right. But then it came out that she was a self-taught Domino developer, and had a web application with tens of thousands of users hosted off it, built on Domino - something she'd just done as a hobby. Now what are the odds of that?
