One must be a fool for even suggesting such their work is flawed. A guenius will subsequently avoid you once proven wrong.multi-level hackitecture (hack-eh-tek-chure) - Hackitecture itself is application architecture which has been made functional by hacking together poor code or cramming together unrelated pieces of code in a poor and inefficient way. |

He's just about to start the West portion of his self-drive nostalgia trip, headed toward Colorado.

Also in "Books" news, I've added links to my All Consuming Favorite Books and Currently Reading pages. |
