A lot of his friends now had an Amazon Ring. Or some other type of home security system. He really ought to have one of those. It was the 21st century after all. Why wouldn't you have one of those? During Christmas he had watched the first  Home Alone movie,...

Abstraction as reply to Trust & Agreement: Life Experience Required

As complexity increases, it gets more and more difficult to agree. Sometimes, we try to agree on a concept that has moving variables.

One thing programmers love doing when they should be programming is arguing over the best way to program. Either they idolize the new hot thing, or they scoff...

Cheap tea and Long walks as reply to Re: Re: Friendship

Keni you're doing an amazing job of writing truthfully as GabrielGreco put.

Your account of University social life shows simply and beautifully the power of cheap yet priceless experiences. Intangibles rooted in the ordinary. Things that are seemingly accessible to everyone.

Focus Requests

I've been chatting with brianball again and a thing that comes with this is a flurry of ideas. I actually don't like calling his ideas feature requests since it's inaccurate to describe his ideas as requests. They're more accurately food for thought. But...

Letters to People
Beer; Coffee

I remember us taking so many walks. And I remember us drinking so much beer. Today I wouldn't even drink more than once a week. Back then I remember the sun setting on many Tuesdays and Wednesdays where I'd begin wondering whether you'd want to go for a beer. Don't...

Welcome Brian Ball

Glad to have brianball give Adagia a shot. He and I have had many conversations, some of them lasting over an hour, back when 200WAD was in it's heyday. He was pretty pivotal in sparking many of the community initiatives back then alongside...

Frodo

I remember on our walks together I would often cite the example of Frodo leaving The Shire when the question of how we were spending our time came up. Both of us were away from family most the year, this distance becoming more normalized with each passing month, and I...
