PATRICK'S TRAVELOG

I use this site to document my travels so that friends and family can see what I'm up to when abroad. When not abroad, I share things I come across and think you may find interesting. I hope you enjoy.

Here are my photos.

al3x’s Rules for Computing Happiness

A nice list. My favorites:

  • Use as little software as possible
  • Use a plain text editor that you know well.  Not a word processor, a plain text editor.
  • Do not use your text editor for tasks other than editing text.
  • Pay for software that’s worth paying for, but only after evaluating it for no less than two weeks.
