Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's so GAE.

I know you meant it as a joke, and it is indeed clever. However, usage of 'gay' as a pejorative is kind of offensive to some of us. Please be careful with your puns. Edit: Seriously, guys, I'm trying to be as civil as possible here. What's with the downvotes?

Civility has nothing to do with it. It was a not-so-clever pun. I wasn't actually using it as a pejorative. That should be painfully obvious.

Winning National Novel Writing Month. I know that NaNoWriMo is in November, but I reserve the right to change February into another November in my personal timeline. I just have 618 words left. I've never written anything longer than about twenty pages before, and no fiction, so this was really a new and exciting experience for me. To my surprise, the book is actually pretty fun to read; I was expecting it to suck. I…

Good for you :) please post it when it's done. I got a chuckle out of the python/Tex thing - I was chatting with a friend recently about how we both want to start writing, but none of the writing apps feel right, if only there was a markdown-simple native mac app that would spit out latex, etc etc. We ended up agreeing we'd probably spend more time on the app than actually writing - kudos on doing both.

Putting the finishing touches on the app I wrote this week, a co-founder finder. I also got a Droid this afternoon, so I've been having a hard time avoiding the distracting shiny, shiny new toy.

I'm in the process of leaving my job to start my first company, so my time tonight is split between writing wiki articles for my soon-to-be-ex coworkers and creating a minimally viable product.

Hey, me too. It's my last day. It's way out of my comfort zone, but I realized if I don't take these risks now, I never will. I'm oscillating between excited and horrified.

Best of luck to you.
