  1. Three Books on a Table

    When this novel began, there were three physical books on my table, and none of them had anything to do with the others. One was a slim green-and-gilt volume from 1922 called The Wild Heart, eleven animal sketches of Puget Sound country, foxed at the corners, written by a woman almost nobody remembers. One was the Theogony of Hesiod, a genealogy in verse, roughly a thousand lines of who was born to whom, composed by a Boeotian farmer about seven hundred years before Christ. And one was the Inferno, in the English that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow made out of the worst years of his life. An animal book, a family tree, and a tour of hell. The Disposition is what happened when I stopped treating them as three books and started treating them as one instrument with three registers. […]

  2. A quotation from Jane Austen

    We are of each an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all of the eclat of a proverb.

    Jane Austen (1775-1817) English author
    Pride and Prejudice, ch. 18 [Elizabeth] (1813)

    My moods are pliable,
    My body suggestible,
    The weather and other people
    Drivers of my emotions,
    The tension in my gut,
    Those wild words in my head
    And out of my mouth
    When I can be bothered
    To open it.

  5. Reviewing a sw #bug:

    DESC: put negative value in field that expects >0 int. Save. Only thing application does after that is crash. There's no meaningful error msg in the log when it does so. Corrective action: manually change value in config file and restart.

    Product owner: we can't afford to fix this.

    #Disposition: users can't possibly be that dumb. Close-Won'tFix.

    Me: it takes 12 fucking minutes to write a field validation + display a fucking message! WTAF!?
