Same experience working with a world-class security developer. When he checks his email on his phone, it sounds like a wasp with a stutter.


@cleverjake, M.O. = modus operandi = 'way of working', i.e. how they did it. You answered why, I think. Then I read on to 'indiscriminatory' and gave up on the whole thing. ;)


haha, morning mind and fat fingers.


For fiction, I'd vote for the First and Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen Donaldson.

He's often mocked for deploying the less-visited corners of the OED, but some people love that sort of joy in language. The antihero has never been done better, and the inversion of the whole 'wake up in a fantasy land' trope is brilliant and explored to its logical conclusions.

Give it to Book 2 of the First Chronicles ('The Illearth War') before you decide whether you like them.
