Bad day huh?
What did you do today?
I'm a builders' labourer, mate. Today I got up at 5:30am and
spent 6 hours sweating my guts out in the blinding Queensland
summer, laying a concrete slab. After that I spent 5 hours
fixing up a rotten fence in someone's back yard. I arrived
home today as I usually do, covered in dirt, blisters, cuts
insect bites, and dragged myself up the stairs to sit in
front of my computer and keep working.
Why? Because I have this fantasy that one day I will write
some software that someone will pay money for before my back
goes and I end up a crippled old man.
Before you guys start making your holier-than-thou blanket
statements about how everyone who wears red socks is Santa-
Claus, perhaps you should think about what the words you
speak may mean in the context of someone else's life. I'm
sure the people you're imagining are out there, but I don't
think they're the majority.
Why don't you send Rob Craig a note telling him he's greedy,
insecure and childish for not releasing the source for the
EU interpreter?

'I dis-agree with what you say but will defend to the death
your right to say it.' - or something like that.
