Subscribe via RSSJohn Allsop's girlfriend has a guest post on his blog this week. It's mainly about web standards and such, but she has an amusing paragraph about being a web developer's widow. Women be warned.
"A lot of my knowledge comes from being what I'll describe as a Developer's Widow. I'm sure there's a support group for us spouses of web developers out there - I must find out when they meet. We developers widows come home from our 9-5 jobs every day to find our partners tapping away at their computers, eager to show us the latest cool thing that their application can do, describing the political ins and outs of the blogosphere, ranting about the trolls on their mailing lists. We try to drag them out to buy groceries but before they go they simply must check their email for the 800 millionth time just in case something's happened. They marvel at those of us foolish enough to participate in the rat race. They ask what the weather was like outside. They are excited (though sometimes feel slightly confronted) to have a real person to talk to after a day in cyberspace."

she forgot to mention the lack of showering and ability to work all day dressed only in underpants
