Have techie, will travel

A technology-science-history-theatre-car guy-engineer-nerd who bothers to post when he remembers. He has opinions to share but doesn't really care if anyone's listening.

Something that amused me..

"Use constant names like LancelotsFavouriteColour instead of blue and assign it hex value of $0204FB. The color looks identical to pure blue on the screen, and a maintenance programmer would have to work out 0204FB (or use some graphic tool) to know what it looks like. Only someone intimately familiar with Monty Python and the Holy Grail would know that Lancelot's favorite color was blue. If a maintenance programmer can't quote entire Monty Python movies from memory, he or she has no business being a programmer."

At first glance, typical uber-geek: D&D player, avid computer gamer who has provided tech support to his entire neighborhood and much of his extended family etc but I'm also a hardcore drama geek who wishes he had more time to read and wants to travel more .
