About
Hi - I’m James R. Scott (I’m afraid the R is necessary given the prevalence of my first name and surname). I have set up this website to make available information on various decisions I have made and projects I have worked on, including pitfalls I have encountered/lessons I have learnt.
It is designed to be brief and relevant, not comprehensive. I have given detail where it’s important and/or non-trivial to discover/guess for yourself. Otherwise I’ve tried to leave detail out to the extent possible.
That’s one of the main aims here - give you the info as concisely as I can. (Almost) all of the content in this site can be found elsewhere, but it is usually long winded, assumes a great deal of background, or misses entire concepts. I hope to provide distilled, useful information - the stuff I’m glad I discovered when I was looking at something.
The exception to all of this is when I’m presenting an argument, at which point it becomes a case of providing detail and references where possible rather than maintaining brevity everywhere.
I hope it is useful/interesting to you, and if it is not, sign up and post a comment yourself - maybe I can help or someone else who visits this site will have an answer.
This site is designed to complement and eventually replace my previous website, as the weblog format allows more flexibility.
Dude, where is the important advice on this website, e.g.
- how to deal with a Beetz?
- how to survive 2 years with Monica?
- how to enjoy taking insult from JSR?

- There is very little you can do to deal with a Beetasaur unfortunately. It’s more just a case of going with the flow, and just stepping in quickly and brutally whenever he’s about to cross a serious line
- No idea. I was in a state of severe sleep deprivation for most of my 2.5 years in capital goods, and now it’s all a bit of a daze
- JSR? What’s his middle name? Stephen? Samuel? I can’t help enjoying his insults, it just comes naturally. He’s so rediculous about it all
I should put up some pictures of folks so that people can see who everyone is.

“S” stands for Scott-squasher. Very simple. Why the hell did I just have to logon to earn the privilege of scrawling offensive nonsense on your ridiculous website? You should tell everyone about your site. I’m wistfully considering what might have been had I known earlier about this additional dimension through which to torment you. My only consolation is that I have been diligent on all other fronts. Post pictures, but none from Mahiki. They’re simply embarrassing.

Hope you like the pictures so far - none from Mahiki, maybe those will be up next as I would like to be able to show people who everyone is.
