No, not computer code... I'm in the midst of reading volume 1 of the International Building Code (and commentary). It's super awesome. And by awesome I mean boring. It effectively puts me to sleep every night after only 2 or 3 pages.
I am on section 414.2.4 out of 3412.9.1 (I believe) sections. At this point I think I'll stop reading every word and just start skimming or something. Yes, I admit to giving up! This is very unusual for me - giving up. But if you had to lug the IBC around, you'd come to the same conclusion and probably sooner than I have.
The benefit of lugging the code around, though, is that everyone who sees it becomes curious about it because of its noticeable size. So I guess if I were out for attention that would work nicely. And the IBC does have something else going for it. The cover is an eye-catching purple!
This takes up all my reading time, which is why I have not posted any readings in several months. Commenting on the code and commentary seemed a bit redundant. But if any of my non-architecty friends would like to quiz me on building use and occupancy and special detailed requirements of those uses and occupancies, please be my guest!
I am soooooooo looking forward to the much slimmer International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code and the National Electrical Code. Woo!
