I found these quotes on a random blogger’s site, who in turn found this whole file randomly looking through a Terry Pratchett ftp directory on an MIT machine, back in 1995 or 96. He luckily saved a copy and I’m reposting here because I don’t want to lose them to the fickleness of the Net.

Java concurrency links
There is lots of information on the Web about concurrent programming with Java (or with other languages on the JVM). This post is a list of links I have found helpful and/or interesting.
Preserving the programming craft
I posted this reply to an Ask Slashdot: Do Kids still program? I found myself commenting all over that thread… it must be close to my heart 
Reproducing here, and exploring a little further.
Many of the observations made on Slashdot are right. I wonder what it is that drives me to hack, that is missing from what is covered? Why do I like to hack, and why would it be passed over by kids these days? Or would it?
