[[File:Short Circuit Avatar.jpg|frame|right|My daughter Ada, left, and my son Pascal, right. I'm in the center.]]My name is Mike Mol. I founded Rosetta Code, contributed the first tasks and examples, went on a promotion drive, and now primarily provide guidance, administrative and hosting services and maybe a line of code here and there. Rosetta Code was an idea I'd had during a Christmas vacation, before I'd heard of [[Help:Similar Sites|other programming chrestomathy sites]].
 
[[User:Parsleyfirefly|Parsleyfirefly]] is my fianceewife. I program for [[programs for::Fun|fun]] and [[programs for::Work|profit]]. My native locale is [[speaks::English (American)|en-us]].

Line 56 ⟶ 50:
I currently keep an eye on Rosetta Code by adding [[Special:Recentchanges]] to my Google Reader. I find it's a great way to stay apprised. Google Groups has an RSS feed for each group, with is another way to stay caught up on language discussions, even if groups like comp.lang.c++ move pretty quickly.
 
By the way, if anyone knows of an extension to add [[wphttp://code.google.com/apis/pubsubhubbub/ PubSubHubbub|PubSubHubbub]] support to MediaWiki, I'm all ears.

==Thoughts==
(These aren't dictumsdicta, just what I've been thinking. Writing them here to let others see them and ponder them as well. Replies ought to go in a talk page somewhere.)
===Task differentiation===
I understand that:
Line 116 ⟶ 110:
 
However:
* Sometimes, in order to show something that people ''genuinely want to do'' (such as counting in Octal--just an example. Don't run totoo far with it), it will be found that there are little or no idiomatic differences demonstrated.
* These small differences are where many language features (in the area of builtins more than idiom and semantics) lay.
 
===Task creation difficulties===
Not knowing the terminology behind the problem, it's difficult for me to write a task in order to get an illustration of it. Not knowing how to do it in the first place, it's vastly more difficult to write a task; I can't write any seed examples, and I can't explain what I'm looking for. In fact, this is now the ''chief'' reason I don't write tasks any more. Anything I want to do, but don't know how, I don't know how to ask.
: As it turns out, from my own experience and from watching successful and unsuccessful attempts by others, the solution appears to be "create the task, and work in good faith with the people attempting to get clarification so they can implement it properly." --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:24, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
:Hi Short Circuit: I went to [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles File list] and discovered that all file uploads are blocked since 6/2/2016, even admins have no uploads. Is it sort of technical glitch? Or result of fighting spam too hard?? I'm planning 2 new tasks with 4 pictures. Without picture uploads it is useless. Another interesting issue: Why nobody complains? --AnatolV 01:22, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
===Entry-level===
Rosetta Code has a significant problem, right now, in things not being easy to find or learn coming from a limited knowledge base. I wanted to learn about generators late last week, and wanted to use a comparison of Python and Perl 6 in order to understand the core concept--and I didn't know how to find them on RC. I had to ask in the IRC channel in order to find what I was looking for. Now, I'm not a newbie to programming, but I'm certainly a novice in a large number of language idioms.
===Maintenance===
Maintenance is a PITA. I'll get things updated, upgraded, fixed, tweaked, implemented, etc...I'm blocked on not enough time, and I haven't been able to obtain additional VMs from prgmr.com for a few months. (Needed because prgmr has better rates than any other VPS provider I've seen, and because I want to get multiple nodes on the same VPS host for a network throughput advantage)
===Task ideas===
I want to go through and implement each of Luminance-HDR's [http://qtpfsgui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/qtpfsgui/trunk/qtpfsgui/src/TonemappingOperators/ tonemapping operators] as tasks. Someday, I'll get around to rewriting them to use OpenCL. It seems like most of the CPU time spent is performing operations on matrices. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:28, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 
===Talk Page Protection Glitch===
Your [[User_talk:Short_Circuit]] is currently protected against editing, halting the current anti-spam discussion which had started there. The Protection Log currently indicates that this went into place in 2013 (despite much more recent comments there). I do not know if this is some glitch that will clear itself up or if manual action is needed. On a related note, it would be nice if we could see the email domain name for accounts deleted for spamming. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 00:37, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 
: I had the same problem, I resorted to using an e-mail.   -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 06:12, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
: Slack is not run. I suggest to remove from RosettaCode page. (CalmoSoft)
