One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code.

So maybe I can go back to being a Gardeners' World addict again.

The steady state of disks is full.

We have persistent objects, they're called files.

In fact, we started off with two or three different shells and the shell had life of its own.

I also have an idea for a book on biodiversity, and why and how we should be conserving it.

For most of that time, I've also been a keen gardener, but for many years I failed to make the connection between gardening and science.
