Fuck me running!
I’m a software developer by trade. I know, I know, you’d never guess that from my handle, thecodepounder, right? Well, be that as it may, I write software for a living (I wouldn’t presume to describe my job in resume’-terms on this blog, e.g. “conceive, design, write and implement world-class solutions, the brilliance [...]

Whew!  Home again.  I guess my hiatus is over.  Weekends and vacations are never long enough, unless they are too long, and too long is much worse.

Anyway, I’m trying Dave’s Spam Karma 2.  [...]
