Odd lines.

I've been updating my user profile page with various bits of wisdom from here and there. Not having called attention to it, you may not have noticed. So, um, take a look, if that suits your fancy. :)

It's good, though.

Seems someone at Microsoft tried to recruit Eric Raymond.

This actually makes a lot of sense. In the spirit of Utah Phillips' story about moose turd pie, going to the guy whose complaints are the loudest about one's product, and asking him if he can do any better through joining you, shows a good sense of chutzpah and cluetrain-ness.

But, as one would expect from someone who wrote the cheerfully unintentionally ironic, "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" (that is, the article seems blissfully unware the real task is, How to Answer Questions the Smart Way... let alone, if one has done the job of programming efficiently, there shouldn't be any questions in the first place, because The User Will Get It) -- anyway, as one would expect, Eric jumps up and down, screams out, "That's Moose Turd Pie!" and refuses to either become cook, or say, "It's good, though."

Proving, I suppose, that he really doesn't know how to answer questions, smart or dumb.
