Oh my. He coded
Word and Excel, he's sometimes
characterized as

the smartest coder
in the world. Now he's dating
Martha Stewart. Gads!

"Oh my. He coded Word and Excel, he's sometimes characterized as the smartest coder in the world."

If he coded Excel, he's nowhere near the smartest coder in the world.

Simonyi, a Seattle-area resident, is an experienced pilot. He has also been romantically linked with domestic magnate Martha Stewart in the gossip columns. Simonyi accompanied Stewart on a recent zero-gravity flight, and in a narrated video of the outing, she referred to Simonyi as "my friend Charles."

Sounds hot and heavy to me. OTOH, Martha is good around the house and she's done time in a women's prison. That's a fantasy for some men.

[holden]

'["my friend, Charles" has] never danced quite like that before,' Stewart said in her narration

The knowledge Martha's claiming is rather all-inclusive, it would appear. You should be blushing at that admission, Martha.

BTW, the article says he's the smartest coder, not the best coder. I've been a pretty fair coder in my day (and a Senior Consultant to Microsoft), I've met Charles, and the statement has a very high likelihood of being correct.

And next month's issue of Martha Stewart Living will feature an article on "Accessorizing for Vomit".

Hey great! Maybe we can look forward to another Paris Hilton-type home porn video!

I'm glad Microsoft dropped Hungarian Notation. It was a constant PITA.
