k. so, i'm curious. i notice that a lot of people that belong to this site are occupied in design. i have at least a couple of good friends who are, in fact. so, this is not meant as an affront, but "design" just seems pretty generic. i design software; interior designers decorate homes; i have a fraternity brother, a mechanical engineer, who designs scroll compressors for air conditioners and the like.

what i'm getting at is, don't you have to design *something*? I'm a software developer (my title is actually senior software engineer, but that's a bit full of air for me), but if i were to just tell people i'm a developer, they might think i built houses or worked at the local Ritz Camera, y'see? again, this isn't meant to question the legitimacy of your occupation, rather the description.

anybody?



things are going almost halfways decently in my world. i fucked up a bit at work, but nothing earth-shattering. trying to port a bit of c++ code back to the old c library, i missed a couple things. since c++ objects can (and mine do) do lots of things under the covers, porting back to a procedural language can be a bit error prone.
