Some drive, some are driven. I drive a Lexus. I drive people insane.

Dawkins, he speaks truth! I'm a rabidly militant raging atheist now. Apart from that? Programming, interestingly deviant sexual practices, science, language.

If you can't beat them, at least tie them up!

E2 sucks.

E2 continues to be annoying in a number of ways. However, as compared to a few years ago, editors are being a little more humane and a lot more helpful to people outside their circle of friends. That's good, and it bears acknowledging.

But not as much as my job.

You may wonder why I complain yet continue to node here (or rather, I've started again). The answer is that my current job is so boring that even writing unappreciated nodes in an obscure weblog is more interesting.

You want details?

Beware of rabid noder!

I am impolite to the point of boorishness; I am aggressive, arrogant and asocial. Think of me as Dale Carnegie with a minus sign.

I take criticism poorly, so dump on me only if you don't mind being insulted, or feel I could use the practice.

The above is my node update score for a short time, probably only a day or two. There are roughly 50 WUs of mine downvoted, and it looks like exactly the top 50 from a list someone would get from "show Elrac's writeups."

So someone expended a whole day's worth of votes just to... just to what, piss me off? That's not necessary: Whoever it was, I probably didn't like him before, either. Eat shit and die. Remember to come back for my other nodes, asshole!
