I've been meaning to do a similar blog post for my hobbyist TCP stack, but this here does explain it more concisely than I could.

Very interesting and yes, interoperability is hard.

Thanks! I'll add the links.
Makes sense. I have to take a look at the project's coding style a bit closer.
A very valid point! I'll update the code.
I like retro. Any pointers (pun intended) to good C material is appreciated.
Thanks! I will definitely update the implementation as the project matures.
I'm not an expert in philosophy, but stoicism is something I definitely look forward practicing to. I just finished reading http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic-ebook/dp... and Aurelius' Meditations.
The thing most resonates with me in stoicism is the fatalistic outlook. Everything that happens, has already happened and will continue to happen. Eases my anxiety.
The negative visualization described in the book is also a powerful technique. It puts one's petty problems into perspective and actually makes you grateful for things you have.
Overall, I think the central idea of it is the ability to feel joy - something that can be derived from the state of tranquility rather than pleasure of the senses. And of course, to treat other people to the best of your abilities and at the same time acknowledging how flawed beings we are.
This.
Meditation, CBT, a regular sleep pattern.
YMMV, but meditation, hands down. It will eradicate anxiety and stress, all of which affect your energy levels and concentration.
