In late 2004, I was working in my office, minding my own business. I normally keep my door open, as do most other people.
«Knock-knock»
I turn around. There’s somebody at the door.
“Oh, nothing,” the person said. “I just wanted to look at you.”
I closed the door and drew my blinds.
What would you have done?
(In retrospect, I obviously should have installed a webcam and charged a membership fee.)
Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
