Running Code. So here it finally is, a place for myself. A place to get myself to write texts longer than 140 characters. An effort to get myself to use the commandline including git & vim more often. I don’t know where this is heading to: I imagine this to be a supplement to www.foomoo.de – stay tuned, all-new somewhen soon. If you feel like, chim in via Disqus. Thanks to toto by @cloudhead for making this such a nobrainer. Oh, and @heroku – you’re great.

So what is the name Running Code about? Last year during a lecture in University our Professor introduced us to the concepts of the interweb, its technical foundation and best-effort princicple. Then he had this quote on the slides:

We reject kings, presidents and voting. We believe in rough consensus and running code. Dave Clark (IETF T-shirt, 1992)

Somehow this stuck with me, I like the notion. Oh, and I like Code. And I do enjoy running. So there you have it, Running Code. Welcome.
