Work has been really crazy. We are having a sale and its nutso. are servers were totally owned by our users and we had to fight every one of them to survive. but we did it. and now threadless is ruling - more or less. soon it will be ruling always. and forever.
flickr is so slow sometimes.
i am sleepy. i will be going to bed soon. i really want to install linux on my old desktop to be a fileserver and an awesome computer - hosting things like a phone system and the like - but i don’t have a monitor. heh. i need to find something.
ok. gnight.
Hi. My name is Harper. I am an engineer and software architect involved in social networks and the open source software. I am very happily employed as the CTO to the awesome skinnyCorp in Chicago, IL. We make some really cool stuff. This is obviously my blog. I write about everything from being a professional yoyoer to hacking the newest Internet appliance. Be sure and check out my homepage at harperreed.org. If you are so interested, my resume is located here. I love getting emails and what not so feel free to contact me through here.
Be sure and take a gander at my photos.
