Another feature about this guy is his low threshold of boredom. He'll pick up on a task and work frantically at it, accomplishing wonders in a short time and then get bored and drop it before its properly finished. He'll do nothing but strum his guitar and lie around in bed for several days after. Thats also part of the pattern too; periods of frenetic activity followed by periods of melancholia, withdrawal and inactivity. This is a bipolar personality. -- The bipolar lisp programmer

Well, if you talk about programming to a group of programmers who use the same language, they can become almost evangelistic about the language. They form a tight-knit community, hold to certain beliefs, and follow certain rules in their programming. It’s like a church with a programming language for a Bible. -- Gary Kildall (inventor of CP/M, one of the first OS for the micro).

Good programmers use their brains, but good guidelines save us having to think out every case. -- Francis Glassborow

If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution. -- Robert Sewell

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. -- Sherlock Holmes

Opportunities that present themselves to you are the consequence -- at least partially -- of being in the right place at the right time. They tend to present themselves when you're not expecting it -- and often when you are engaged in other activities that would seem to preclude you from pursuing them. And they come and go quickly -- if you don't jump all over an opportunity, someone else generally will and it will vanish. -- Marc Andreessen (http://blog.pmarca.com/)

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. ~Bruce Feirstein

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice. ~Wayne Dyer
