Mucho respect! | Anonymous

Thu 25-Feb-2010 21:42 | I've spent a lot of time programming a range of computers in a variety of languages since the mid 80's. I was part of the demo scene during many years and since about seven years I work as a professional software engineer. During all these years I've had the opportunity to meet quite a few talented people. Let me say that it takes a lot to impress me nowadays, but you certainly have! What's your source of inspiration?
Keep up the great work! | lft

Thank you! I'm inspired by everything I see. =) But the demoscene is one great source of ideas, and I often read about other people's projects through make magazine etc. It's really hard to not get carried away and do everything that falls into your head, because then you'd never get anything done. | Anonymous

Good question. I find the Internet is to blame for shortening my attention span and making it harder to concentrate on one thing. Gone are the days of reading a book in one sitting. Still, nothing a bit of self-discipline wouldn't fix, I suppose? | lft

I try to divide my days into different sections; Mornings are for reading RSS feeds and my list of URLs, at work I can usually find the time to check email and IRC, and when I get home I try to avoid the internet altogether, except when I need to look up something specific. I obviously don't have a TV set. Then, of course, any self-imposed scheme like this can be disregarded as needed on a day to day basis, but it generally pays off to stick to it. |
