About me

Instead of providing any boring info about myself, I am going to list some of my favorite hobbies/things to do/interests. This is really more interesting and more thorough than talking about me.

Programming, learning things (addicted to wikipedia), computer games, retro (gaming|magazines|computing|tv show), books, challenging programming problems, large scale distributed computing, programming languages, enjoying the nature, algorithms, Interactive Fiction, DnD, collecting books|cds|dvds, working out, travelling..

Nothing beats spending hours upon hours on Wikipedia sites, reading about old (retro) games, and history of old computer systems, reading books and above all programming - as far as I am concerned;)

Favorite Quotations

  • Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works best.
  • Focus is a matter of deciding what things you are not going to do.
  • Simple is Beautiful
  • In the information age, the barriers [to entry into programming] just aren't there. The barriers are self imposed. If you want to set off and go develop some grand new thing, you don't need millions of dollars of capitalization. You need enough pizza and Diet Coke to stick in your refrigerator, a cheap PC to work on, and the dedication to go through with it. We slept on floors. We waded across rivers.
  • Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
  • Easy is what I know, difficult is what I don't.
