This seems like it would be perfect stuff for an educational lightning talk

5. dec.com: Digital Equipment Corporation (which got bought by compaq, which was bought by HP) made PDP microcomputers. The first interactive lisp was implemented on the PDP-1 in 1963 by Peter Deutsch http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/history/lisp/node5.html
hypothetically I've worked with them before and know all of them. and hypothetically they didn't go belly up as a group, they belonged to different parts of a large company that died because of... stuff that happened in japan... :-)
for me: start programing in the morning and don't check my email or any "leisure" websites (like hacker news) until after lunch. I've found that I only have about 5 hours of hard-core coding in me in a day, so I try to use that up in one block in the morning and work on non-coding B.S. afterwards...
I agree with pg: coding is like writing. I use the same strategies trying to stay productive as a coder that I did fighting writer's block while working as a technical writer...
managing a running server, on the other hand, is not like writing...
"I've been putting some more effort into it recently. I'd be interested to know if people here have suggestions for what I could improve. Please feel free to consider no nit too small to pick."
