| < < | IM is one more toxic spill that's directing our attention to short-term minor issues at the cost of procrastinating on important tasks that require more than a few minutes of uninterrupted thinking. Any time-management consultant will tell you that the basics of meeting your goals are to prioritize them and spend the most time on the most important problems. To make real progress in creative thinking, problem solving, or other knowledge work, we need to keep out interruptions and set our own agenda. IM, in contrast, lets your agenda be controlled by anybody who has your screen name. - Jakob Nielsen (more CuteQuotes) | |||||||
| > > | Excuse me, but just what was so hard to understand about this bunch? We knew they were dishonest. We knew they were fanatical. We knew they were purposely ignorant and bragged about not reading newspapers. We knew they were vindictive. We knew they were lawless. We knew they were obsessively secretive. We knew they had no time or patience for those who raised difficult questions. We knew they were driven by fantasies of religious warfare, personal vengeance and ideological triumph. We knew they had no respect for civil liberties. And we knew they took no responsibility for the consequences of their incompetence. Just what is surprising about the manner in which they've conducted the war? - Eric Alterman(more CuteQuotes) | |||||||

| < < | At work I'm a software architect and developer specializing in the design and development of large-scale financial systems written in Java, although I've also built ASP/VBScript systems, and done lots of work in C. I work for a Riverton LLC, a boutique "work for hire" development company. We're small enough that the bell curve doesn't apply, and even in these tough times we're having fun and making our numbers. If you need software architecture and/or development expertise then we can probably help you. | |||||||

| Before that I was the CTO of a small software company in Kendall Square called Black Ink Systems. It was a fun place to work; building real-time financial analytics software for communications carriers. My job was to design things, write good code, and in general try to share some of my experience with the development team. | ||||||||
