@Curio If you have a memory problem, perhaps you should consult with a neurologist.. j/k :P

Always code as if the person who ends up maintaining your code is a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

That's tricky in a multi-paradigm language, since by design there are multiple canonical ways to use it...

Almo slaps Vaillancourt around a bit with a large trout.

Eclipse runs a copy of Crysis in the background though

god damn today is a good day. Got invited to present a demo at Tokyo Game Show :D

I love deleting things. So come on and star some stupid shit so I can delete some stars.
