I recall talking with him a few times long ago on ICC, when KnightCap would play
Amateur.  Or was it that other fellow?  Can't recall.  Anyway, this line made me
think back:

"When I do that, I tend to pour all my energy into the project -- you know,
staying up until 3:00 AM working frantically. I get a high out of coding."

I used to feel similarly, spending weeks of nights coding, testing, excited at
results.  No more.  One must be under 40 for that stuff. (?)

Thanks for the link.
