I grew up on Spider-Man and in my books.. the movie wasn't so good. A few things that were changed that shouldn't have been :
1. The web shooter !! Why did they take that ultra cool contraption off... the witish liquid on his wrists just reminded me too much of something else...
2. They took off Gwen !! One the main characters in Spider-Man during his formative years and also one of the babes in the movie... oh why her ??
Story wise it was streched too thin all over the place to satisfy my movie taste buds... This is a crying ashame as it was a good effort but then I felt that things was a tad too rushed to be really memorable. A little focus would have done it a world of good.
I feel that there is a way one can experience a sort of middle road in between a programmer and a so called manager. I am working for myself with a few of my friends in our own company that sells software solutions and being the small unit that we are most of the stuff be it programming as well as managing the schedule of a project is done by us. Up until now ( at least in my point of view ) there hasn't been a dull moment ! Yes there were a few points along the lines where we worried about getting both the ends to meet as well being so tired out that we literally fell asleep on our feet, but then we never once thought to ourselves that programming is a dead end job. I think it's the element of risk and working for yourself that makes this kind of life style so appealing. I feel that the management side of my job complements the programming side very well and my love for programming has not decreased one bit.
So, if you are beginning to feel the drugery of working as a programmer for a huge corporation... and you are not really worried about starving for your love of what you like to do ( programming ? ), why not strike out on your own ? Take it from me, there won't be one dull moment and then maybe then you can see the picture from the view of the people up there in management...
Hmm following the link on perlbox...

"Environments like 'EverQuest' can help a person if they're shy or have trouble forming social relationships," he said. "They have this environment where they can safely try new things out. They can experiment with being more vocal, or they can try out a leadership role, which may not be an opportunity they have in real life. Especially for teenagers, it lets them try out different roles and identities at a time when they may be really struggling with those kinds of issues."
Are you sure this is one of the advantages ?.. I mean won't that like suck them further into the fantasy world and make them more anti social ?
What ever happened to the very effective Progeny installer ? Like the post above says, it has very good hardware detection and a useful graphical user interface. The last I heard about that installer, it was said that it would be absorbed into the main debian distribution. Does anyone know what has happened to it ?
Well.. some other niceties that teoma is lacking IMHO is like the nifty "View as HTML" in google for PDF files....
