Thanks! Yeah, worst case I get to change careers and keep doing it as a hobby.

Now you know two. :-)

I like you. We'd get along.

Despite having such a rich history of body art? Actually the history itself answers my question. I get it.

In Japan, tattoos are commonly perceived as being associated with organized crime.

Yes, I think it is almost entirely because of Yakuza.

Just keep me in the back. I'll code and you can raise the funds.

I lived in the triangle for a year or so. It was quite an experience. Thanks for sharing! I've heard from a few friends that Utah is booming.

There's a wikipedia page talking about your accomplishments Mr. Bright. Never thought you'd comment on one of my HN posts but here we are. :-)

Thank you for sharing. It reminds me I need to put more effort into applications. Cool projects btw :-)

I'm definitely going to look into open positions. Rec Room looks awesome. I'll see if I can come up with a project they'd be impressed by. ;)

Not directly related, but I'm working on some short stories inspired by some of the hacker/cyberpunk literature from the 80's and since I grew up and learned programming in the late 90's early 2000's, I feel completely inadequate at writing cheesy hacker stories.

Keep them old timer stories a' comin'.

No one's more old-timer than I am! I am the ultimate legacy system. Just ask my grandkids!

Another candidate for the old-time stories would be Internet before the public Internet. Back then, as noted, we have several "nets" connected by everything from fixed circuits, to dial-up telephones (I still know where my Telebit trailblazer is), and radio. And you had to know how to traverse it all. (I had the wall maps that were about as complex as colossal cave -- albeit no vending machine or Dr. Pepper bottles). Back then, kiddies, people actually communicated, they did more than just consume -- in fact, I'm told, I am responsible for the Anishinaabe word for Internet. (I helped bring their place on line years ago.) It supposedly means "The place where people talk who have never met"
