I’m starting to think I’m a masochist. Examine the evidence:

• I’ve been in 2 serious relationships with crazy (and I do mean crazy) girls — both ended crappily.
• I still hand wind my guitar strings.
• I’ve worked with PHP since version 3 and I’ve had a job doing it for 5 years. I actually gave up a job doing embedded systems with C to keep doing PHP work.
• I keep thinking I want to learn Erlang.
• Lastly, and I think this is the big one, despite the fact that I’ve worked on no less than 3 failed IRC clients — I started working on an IRC bot project.
