I had recent cause to tell someone I am a fan of Jeff Attwood which led of course to checking Jeff’s Blog and the discovery of Paul’ Ford’s post on Happy People.
Happy people, the kind who eat sandwiches together, are boring. They don’t buy much. Their smartphones are six versions behind and have badly cracked screens. They fix bicycles, then they talk about fixing bicycles, then they show their friend, who just came over for no reason, how they fixed their bicycle, and their friend says, “Wow, good job,” and they make tea. That doesn’t seem like enough to build a town square on.
I am starting to think of my friends at Melbourne PC Users Group.
