I'm a web developer for NOVICA. I'm fascinated by languages, even though I only speak English and a little Spanish. I can count in Korean and have numerous language and linguistics books. I'm living within walking distance of CSUN where I share an apartment with my girlfriend and 2 cats. I'm happy. I write sporadically (I really need to finish that short story), with every intention of making a living at it at an undisclosed point in the future. I taught physics at Emperor's College Winter Term 2008. I love games and stories and music and computers and science and "and." I drink my coffee 100% black 80% of the time and 80% black 20% of the time. Also, there are other things. 7332 42

SMTP and Population

So, I've been thinking for a while that it'd be neat to apply some of the interesting problems / solutions that I've encountered developing applications for Novica to my SciFi writing aspirations. I just thought of a GREAT one.

I can't exactly share the particulars that inspired this, but in EVERY application there are bottlenecks. Sometimes the bottleneck is the database and sometimes it's the browser or the user. The bottleneck can be a 3rd party API that's not responding. The bottleneck can be ANY number of things and I've found myself envisioning each of these bottlenecks as problems related to population/space colonization in a far future story.

I'll have to stew on this a bit.
