Am I crazy?
An acquaintance asks Markus Kohm whether he has gone crazy given all the volunteer work he does, and gets a short but honest answer.
A few minutes ago, I received an email in which an acquaintance and self-proclaimed KOMA-Script user asked me point-blank if I'd gone crazy. Well, that's a good question.
The background was that I’d told this person about all the volunteer work I
do—ranging from my church involvement to various “Hey, can you watch our two
youngest kids on Saturday?”—“Sure, why not!”—to my open-source work, and even
to: “The template for https://bitsandbytesoninternetarepatient.invalid is
sooo off the mark when it comes to how you’re supposed to do things with
KOMA-Script; I absolutely have to set aside a day to show that poor user who
fell for it how it’s really done.” When was the last time I read a book?
Hard to believe—two weeks ago!
Anyway, this person didn’t just want to ask me outrageous questions—he also wanted to do me a favor yet again. When I half-heartedly declined and sent him a link to my (neglected) Amazon wish list, he immediately said I shouldn’t keep it such a secret, but rather put a big, clear link to komascript.de—preferably right at the top of the page, in bold giant letters and red. The latter was a bit too much for me, especially since I’d recently hidden the link in a forum post and do all of this actually voluntarily and not just voluntarily.
But to get back to the question: Of course I'm crazy. How else could I enjoy this world?
See you soon, and good night!
Markus
