One of the reasons I don’t use seesmic is because there is no interesting people there. Can you prove me wrong?

There is intersection between software that is interesting to write and that gets you money.
I know that I don’t like stuff I don’t understand and I like stuff which I understand. In college for a long time I thought I didn’t like maths and then this great teacher came along and I started playing more with it and understanding more and more, to the point where I knew more than other people, and by then I could say I was quite enjoying math.
So you have to play more and more with a certain language until a point where you know more than other people. Then you will start enjoying more that language.
It happens ESOC has an exact copy of the Rosetta spacecraft and today I got to stand next to it and see how it looks.
Rosetta features a military grade computer processor defined in MIL-STD-1750A by the U.S. Air Force and is also used for example in the Apache Longbow Helicopter.
Almost as being part of the Dharma Initiative..
