Seth has the best library in the world; it's better than huge libraries which contain millions of books, in the sense that almost every book in it is a book I would want to borrow. I borrowed Kernighan and Pike's Effective Programming Practices, which I wanted to read but couldn't afford when it first came out. I suspect that by now I've learned everything in the book the hard way, but hopefully not.
Sun Sep 30 2001 08:30 Happy Jam Day:
I went to Seth's birthday party which is probably the best party I've ever attended. Among other things, I met Don Marti, and told to Seth Sumana's joke about Steven Jay Gould wanting people to say "Gould/Evolution". Sumana and I gave Seth a new Richard Dawkins shirt and a set of Selfish Socks.
