Hello!

img.photobucket.com/---/606f4575.jpg" alt="Click here for your fortune."> I've rather decided not to register my permanant collection here, (though I decided that after registering a couple dozen of them...) Seems like a better use of bandwidth for BC that I only register those that I am planning to release, so I'll add a link to my LibraryThing shelves for those who need to peruse the shelves to get a sense of me. That list is growing as I have time to update it. (I know, I do it too. It's an interesting way to get a feel for someone.) I've been called a booksnob, and though I used to deny it, these days I tend to think of it a little differently. There are so many amazing books in the world, and I simply don't have time to read them all. I do like light stuff sometimes, but in general I feel better when I am reading something that impresses me. (Not really interested in impressing anyone else, so I guess that's all right. :) When I read fluff, I love Terry Pratchett. I was an Anne Rice devotee until she became painful to read. Stephen King was amazing for a long, long time and can still turn out some crazy-good writing, but I don't think he's as hungry as he used to be, and I miss that. Neil Gaiman's American Gods was great, but Neverworld was a disappointment. So I keep coming back to Pratchett, who is consistantly flawless in my opinion. I really try not to hate Chick-lit. Really. Still, that whole pink cover, cutesy plot, shoes-shopping-and-sex thing just offends me. That said, I read the YaYa Sisterhood and Little Alters Everywhere, and I admit it, YES I ADMIT IT, I liked them. I love lists. I also seem to love asides. (Though I am not always sure they are necessary.) My husband is a gem and periodically builds me more bookshelves, isn't that lovely? I think I'll keep him around for a while. I have a bit of a shy thing going on with the forums, by the way. I'll start threads and follow the responses, but I don't often reply much in my own threads, as I don't like to bump them up. I sort of prefer to see where people will take them without my promoting them. It's not meant to be anti-social, and I'll jump into other threads willy-nilly. I am much more playful than this dry old bio makes me sound, but often my sense of humour doesn't come through clearly online. (Most of the time, if you are wondering whether to laugh at something I posted, just assume that it actually was intended as a joke. S'ok if you laugh at me, too. Just laugh as much as possible and we'll all be ok in the end. I promise.) No kids. Dog and cat. Thus endeth my confessional time. Next 10 on the TBR: Though I have not been sicking to the list.

Hi

How's ur day going

To paraphrase Socrates, the only thing that I know is that I know nothing about programming. Thus, I'm always re-learning: Ruby, Rails, Sinatra JavaScript, JQuery, Angular.js, Backbone.js Redis, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL GoLang CSS/HTML, because you can never master the basics well enough. The tools I use: Git, Unix, Heroku, AWS, Sublime Text 2, RSpec Follow me on Twitter: @cynicalgrinch
