But you forget that I also own six bikes--one of which cost more than the other five combined.Originally Posted by Catrin
At least books are less expensive than bikes or computers

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

reading (rather studying out of) two e-books. "Land of Lisp" and "Learn You A Haskell for Great Good".
Lisp and Haskell are programming languages.
Common Lisp wasn't created when I was using Lisp for work. The new updated Lisp is much nicer and I thought I would brush up on Lisp.
Haskell is an exacting language based on mathematical formalism thus you will not find side-effects (bugs) in your code.
yes my name is ***** and I'm a geek without any hope...
Oh I'm still reading "Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith (original manuscript was back in 1776). A true classic.
