Well, that free webcam software I was using just died. How cool is that. On the topic, I tried so hard not to pick Zeldman’s Orange (can’t we just call it that now) when doing the redesign. Did I go check his site? Nope, I thought I knew it by heart. So, what did I […]

Problems
Is it a bad thing if I’m a software engineer (that’s my title anyway) and I can’t stand C? I’m working through the Tome of the language (K&R), and jeez, it’s just ugly. In order to achieve Geek First Class, do you have to know C?
