I’m currently reading Showstopper about the development of Windows NT at Microsoft.

Misc

I was on a week-long climbing trip to El Chorro in Spain. Besides being a nice break from the Berlin winter, the climbing was also excellent– I was mostly sending routes at the 6a/6a+ level. I did get on a few 6b+’s , but couldn’t send any of them. Need to work on it some more!
