I've been tagged by Adrian! The request is 8 things about me. This might be hard.

1) I live in Florida but my family lives in Jamaica. I say I left Jamaica because I wanted an adventure or maybe because I wanted less adventure.
2) I was born in Massachusetts but the last time I was there was when I was about 7 months old. I can't wait to go back. I was going this year but I had to cancel.
3) I think life in Florida is good, I am actually beginning to feel at ease here.
4) I go to church every Sunday and every Wednesday night.
5) I buy gifts for others more than I do for myself. Probably because half the clothes I buy I end up not wearing because it does not look good on me (It did in the store) and so I have an aversion to buying clothes and there are very few other things that I think I ought to buy. I don't even have a laptop because I don't really need one. I have almost 24/7 access to a computer.
6) I secretly want to be a billionaire, but I think everyone knows that now.
7) I read a lot.
8) I decided along time ago that I would be working with computers and I still am.

The software beast

Software, I believe, is one of the hardest things to get right! It requires a lot of optimism and whole lot of of realism. On the bright side, software is like bringing pure thought into reality which satisfies the human need to create, but the sheer complexity of the simplest things makes perfection almost unachievable.

Today I started reading the Mythical Man Month by Frederick P Brooks, which I have heard many a software pundit mention. One of the cornerstone philosophies of the book is that adding more developers to a late software project only makes it later. I am looking forward to reading to the end of the book in order to better understand this beast called software.
