just more coffee recommendations; I will get to ATL eventually...<br>

Solving technical problems, including some systems programming, is fun<br>
to me. I can get lost in it and be happy. However, I'm not a "real"<br>
programmer in that my work seldom gets more than a hundred or two<br>
lines of code and I only know the basics in a couple languages.<br>
<br>
Solving big problems is challenging. I've done datacenter project<br>
management and been successful. Especially since I often complain<br>
about "nobody fixing the real issues". I like fixing them but they<br>
aren't as personally fun.<br>
<br>
I'm not looking for a job but am looking to define my job to be what I<br>
want to do. I just wish I knew what I wanted to do...<br>
