Does anybody else love their computer?
Musings
Ok, maybe love is too strong of a word.
But I seriously am digging my laptop these days.
I routinely have this feeling that my laptop is a part of me. I work on it all day, then do side work/projects at night...my hands are attached to this thing. Not only that, but I absolutely love the KDE desktop now that I have taken the time to get used to it.
Running Linux (various flavors in the past, but currently running Kubuntu (Edgy Eft)) has really allowed me to get familiar with the machine. Some by choice, some because I had to do some minor tweaking to get all the parts working like they should.
It isn't the best and brightest machine out there, but it does the trick for me. 1.86 ghz Centrino, 2gb DDR2 RAM, 60gb hard drive. At times I think about how cool it would be to get a duo core with a bigger display, but then I wonder if I will miss this laptop when it dies.
Does anybody else form a bond to their machine?

EDIT: I no longer have this laptop, stay tuned for some info about my new-to-me Dell XPS lappy.
Are you running out of code?
MusingsI was thinking...there are limits to everything. We have a limited number of heart beats in this life, and it follows that we have a limited number of key-strokes.
I am lucky that I have such an understanding wife who doesn't gripe, too much, about how fanatical I am about programming the “fun stuff” (InstantSpot mainly, but any work that is for my own company!). I also count myself lucky to be dedicated to full-time new development while we (at the day job) have all the bug-fixing responsibilities owned by other developers.
-Is programming just a job to you?
-Do you care that you are running out of
time to write that next great app?
-If you do care, are you stuck
bug-fixing all day instead of creating?
Maybe I am just in a weird mood...who knows. But, I think web application development is fun.
