This is pretty good, if a bit smug: How To Be A Programmer – A Short, Comprehensive, and Personal Summary

Sitting here waiting for the debut of Systm. Don’t bother trying to go there. The guys weren’t quite ready for what amounted to a double Slashdotting – the ordinary Slashdot hordes, and the less numerous but doubly ravenous G4/TTV fans.

I went to the Breaking Benjamin / Exies / Silvertide show last Saturday. It was a remarkable experience, only in that the doors opened promptly at the advertised time of 7pm; the first band, unremarkable hair metal necromancers Silvertide, started playing an hour after that. Pretty good show.

The reddish blob in the center is the singer. Thanks, stupid no-good camera phone (thanks also to The Plex’s stupid no-decent-camera policy)
