There are a couple of posts from "Microsoft Windows" that I would like you to decipher for me.


That's easy. "Old Computer" sums it all up.

Regular reader, just to busy/lazy to post...

I'm a Software Engineer at Seiko Epson in Japan. On the other side of the planet (Canada) I'm a Computer Engineer student (doing a 7 year undergrad degree...).

I work on mostly internal development stuff. Things like drivers for firmware that doesn't work (the specifications aren't much better). As well as image processing/testing algorithms and all the flowery GUI stuff that's required. I also work on MICR and MSRW stuff.
I usually work with Windows but I did write a Linux driver a few months ago for OpenSUSE.

I also worked for Xandros Corp. in Ottawa for a year (mostly KDE stuff). I'm more of a Linux guy (Arch).

I'll probably start a tech company after I finish up university (whenever that'll be).

I write stuff, from boring business news to fun travel guides, with a bit of vacuous copywriting every now and then to mix it up. And despite having been a writer for many years I still type pathetically slow.

I actually do data mining/ Risk analysis work.  Lots of keyboarding in SAS.

I've been typing since 1972, professionally since 1990, and still haven't learned to touch type. I didn't even notice home row bumps on computer keyboards until 99 or so.

Maybe I should say, I type apathetically slow.

Isn't that technically Theology? Or is it something different?

The philosophy I get is more or less western philosophy.
