William Gibson on his Tech Life and Latest Novel

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the far-away-and-personal dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Philadelphia Inquirer is running a brief article on William Gibson. In it he discusses his tech life, the ad that inspired Neuromancer, and his latest book, Pattern Recognition. He says, 'Between my wife and daughter who still lives at home, I'm always the one with the slowest computer. I don't find that being really up on all the latest tech ever does me any good.'"

    Why on earth would you write a web site using VS.Net and SQL server? Unless of course you had no choice in the matter.
