Hail to the knower,
Joy to him who has understood,
Delight to those who have listened.
-- Odin, "Havamal"
Trolling summarily ignored, including troll-via-/msg and troll-via-catbox.
I am a 34-year-old male resident of Minnesota, working in tech.
Personal noding philosophy:
- A short writeup is better than no writeup. Supersede away.
- Primal fear of Gritchka's ability to tell me specifically why it's "s" rather than "c" keeps me maniacally alert to misspellings.
- If I want to know foobaz, I'd rather have the basics than wait for the guy who owns foobaz to show up.
- I refuse to use {She noted the "foobaz," and he became enlightened.} rather than {She noted the "foobaz", and he became enlightened.}. Being a coder, putting the comma inside the quotation mark seems so syntactically wrong I can't make myself do it.
- A writeup's value/words factor is important, too.
- YMMV.
If you're a guy with an interesting project, /msg me. If you're not a guy, /msg me regardless...
"Toss attachment to body aside, realizing, I am everywhere. One who is everywhere is joyous." --Zen saying, ~2500 BC
(A note for those who simply must share their brusque pedantry with me on a quote on my homenode: This might be more accurately termed "proto-Zen", as noted in Zen Flesh, Zen Bones, but I would think Zen's true adherents would argue that "Zen" is a metaphysical truism, predating its discovery or the naming of it. "AFAIK": Learn it; love it.)
I am looking for interesting/useful affirmations or mantras, i.e. the prototypical "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better."
Though a neophyte in this form of personal-consciousness hacking, it sounds potentially useful.
Also interested in any supporting or debunking personal experiences or references.
Please /msg me if you have any of the above.
If you'd like to lower the signal-to-noise ratio considerably, and (suspiciously) read even more about me, I've started a weblog at:
