"Barring a sharp blow to the head, as you stand here today you are as dumb as you'll ever be."
Quote from Design Patterns in Ruby explaining why solving a problem you haven't encountered yet (eg: internationalizing your application without the real need for it) is risky because you're betting you can solve it right, and you can solve it right now.
Further ...
"Whenever you put in a feature before
you really need it, you are guilty of programming while stupid; if you wait until you
really need the thing, you are likely to have a better understanding of what you need
to do and how you should go about doing it."

I've always wanted to get of my ass and read something so this time I decided to get started with reading some good literature.
Plus someone suggested I take breaks that don't put me in physical harm. That and I watch too much bad TV, right bhaiyya?
Just need a break from college, which I will probably never get. Change that to just let my exams get over :)
1] Night - Elie Wiesel.
2] Kite Runner - Khaled-Hosseini.
3] Busting Vegas - Ben Mezrich.
All in all, should be fun. Last time exams got over, I read Freakonomics - Steven Levitt. I remember being able to read on and on, that was all before Commandos of course.
"We are sons of Odin"
Manowar - Swords In The Wind.
