Ugh. I have arachnophobia. And watching the movie didn't cure me.

I would have guessed if I had any clue what you have done thus far is. 
After these many years, what gets you going? I love my job but I get distracted easily. I try a lot to do some personal thing and learn new technologies but no, never happens.
I started Android development worked my way through and wrote tiny applications to understand how things are done there and then, gone. Next started WPF, wrote an in-house tool at office (generous great guy, I am) and then, nothing.

I have gotten totally excited about this Higher Order Programming Environment I've been putting together. I've cranked out 3 articles on it here on CP, and there's a github repository[^] with some links to short (and bad, haha) videos (hmm, I'm missing links to two, I'll update the github home page shortly.)

I'd like to do that, but I also figure, it might be more cost effective if I hired someone, but then again, it's only cost effective if I've got the money, haha!

Whatever it is, please, please, please don't use constructs like this:
Quote: In contrast to Kant's view, object-oriented philosophers maintain that objects ... are not ontologically exhausted by their relations with humans or other objects.
Since 'ontological' means "relating to or based upon being or existence", it makes no sense. Some Wikipedia writers are far too full of themselves...
PS - your link[^] is broken.

I noticed that. In fact, I'm struggling with the correct usage of the word myself for exactly that reason -- it's such a higher order concept, a phrase like "The ontology of meaning" seems both redundant and wrong at the same time.

I strongly recommend ditching the word entirely. The sentence I quoted would read much better as:
"In contrast to Kant's view, object-oriented philosophers maintain that the reality of objects observed in our physical world ... does not depend on their relations with humans or other objects."
Even that is not easy to grok, but at least the common man might have a chance of understanding the outlook. And I might bold 'the reality', because that is the important point.

PS - I believe the correct usage in your case would be, "The meaning, when viewed ontologically, is ..." (if that is the correct spelling for the obfuscatory word).

One week and 23.5 hours (to be exact) left until I get to join the world's biggest boy scout group, also reffered to as the Swiss army. Spent the last days walking in my boots, resulting in a burstened blister at my right heel. But I'm getting used to it, and not really givin' a f@ck about it. No chance of getting anything done these days, just playing couch potato and getting a packet for a friend ready.

Next ask questions in CP. Me for instance - as a veteran soldier - can tell you that driving over it with your car do the exact same effect - soft boots - without any leg problems... 
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

They got steel tops, so I guess driving over them with a car would just minimize the shoes size
