Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns is one of my favorite books, my copy is incredibly beaten up. I just really like the way Kent writes. I picked up my copy because I love Smalltalk, but I use a lot of those same patterns in Delphi, C#, and P

Nothing interesting to add except it was an enjoyable way to start the day, thanks. Always good to have something remind you how insignificant you are! The music was great too edit: loaded it in chrome instead, even better (should have been

Years ago I recycled an old 8-ball table into a desk. Utilising a claw hammer to take off one side of the table rails, so as to be flush with the table surface. I threw away my mouse pad. Best table ever, it was amazing for FPS gaming.

Just use what you enjoy. I recently had a similar experience - on a whim I decided I would learn python by taking a asp.net mvc app I built and have maintained for the last 3 years and port it. So I just needed to choose a python web framew
