Yes, I think this is the answer. There are two choices, so being human, we chose both. Then eventually chose one of those two. I used to have an email address jmsd@uk.ac.cam.cl i.e. with the domains reversed. ~Matt

Do it, because you'll not get time to do five years from now, and you might even meet someone who'll want you for a job. Just don't expect to necessarily return from it. ~Matt (met my wife while travelling and ended up in the USA)

I subscribe to many blogs that cover my technical interests and a few personal ones. I avoid blogs with adverts or that are set up to make money. I generally use an RSS reader to follow these blogs (and Twitter and other sources).

For wry laughs, go to Frys in Sunnyvale at lunch time and watch for about 30 minutes. You'll see employees with minimal technical knowledge (but lots of self confidence) being reeducated about the products they sell by the guys who actually

I get funny looks for using emacs for Java work, but it loads and runs fast on all the different platforms I work on. I have used and support people using Eclipse, and generally I like the ability to find definitions etc, but the refactorin

I evaluated Django, TurboGears and Pylons for a new-from-scratch application of medium complexity (10K lines Python, 4 different databases). Pylons seemed to use a number of other tools well, had an excellent book and helpful community, so
