confessions of a former geek

this blog should've been named "confessions of a former geek."

in a previous life, i was big on diaries. back then there were no blogs. and i had a tendency to circumspection. i was also quite the geek. happily enough, today i no longer feel that irresistible urge (although i suspect, i still am.. though not a UNIX geek, which is what i was before).

i guess when you get older, when you have more things to worry about than Linux having no kernel-asynchronous I/O, then the zeal stops.

being a geek has given me employment for almost ten years. and my new job requires those same Linux skills. but i'm the "enthusiast" no longer. give me a dark sky, or a warm hug. those are infinitely more appealing than another midnight hackfest.

i really have turned thirty.
