@c I now think back to handling rattlesnakes and realize I was a really stupid kid.

@c I used to have a pet snake or two. Found I preferred cats.

@c I'd go barefoot for a chance at a year without C++

For all of those people who ask me, "What do you want for Christmas"..

Rather than answer, "Nothing, damnit. Same as last year" ¹

I'm going to answer, "A year without C++"

1. I'm not a 'things' person

@c Windows just arbitrarily decided I was in GMT. Boom. Just like that. Looked at the timestamp on something I just built and caught it. Weird.

A year without C++, I think, is what I want.

It'd be lovely to just pick something silly and bury myself in it. It doesn't even have to be a GOOD something.

Node.js, even.

Anything.

Just pick it apart and play with it. No deadlines. No expectations. Just doing it for it's own sake. Eat, sleep, hack.
