I do hope everything works out well. The track sounds like a good option for getting some exercise in, and it's certainly easy and inexpensive. Let me know how things go.

Recursive debt; it's a great metaphor. It's like a bunch of lazy coders working on the same server. If several people run code that is eating up memory their own calculation is not just lost--the whole server gets brought down. It ties in to the order of magnitude problem too. (If you owe the bank $100,000 the bank owns you, whereas if you owe the bank $100,000,000 you own the bank.)

Terrie Miller:

Wow, congrats Rob!

Hi Rob,

Wow, I didn't know you were close to cutting loose. Best of luck on your new venture. Let me know how things go.

I am swimming lots and coaching the local age group kids, so I am logging lots of pool time. We have a nice masters swim team, so I hang out with lots of water logged folks of all ages at meets and practices.

Please do keep in touch!

I added a profile picture that basically captures the gist of it.
