Doch es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit
und Eure Ruhe ist vorbei.

I think that without a debugger, you don’t get into that mindset where you know how it behaves, and then you fix it from there. Without a debugger, you tend to think about problems another way. You want to understand things on a different level. — Linus Torvalds

What do you write in that journal
Some kind of infernal poetry
So that I’ll offer my help
But don’t you worry, don’t you worry

My theory is that if a blog sends the correct HTTP headers, the coders behind it might have a clue, and it might therefore be better overall software. — Paul Querna

12:55 * nornagon thinks he's about to regret that statement.

In a soldier’s stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I’d become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I’m younger than that now.
— Bob Dylan, My Back Pages

This stuff is better than anything in our handhelds today. We could implement it from they papers they wrote then, but no one reads the papers that were written in the 60s. — Alan Kay, Daddy, Are We There Yet?

Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
— Bob Dylan, Every Grain Of Sand

15:49 <slyphon> HELLO!
15:49 <slyphon> it's a beautiful day to not be coding PHP
15:49 <slyphon> not coding PHP just makes it feel like summer!
15:50 <slyphon> Like I'd survived the long hard winter of PHP just to bask in the warm, sunny goodness of Ruby!

Forth is like Zen. It is simple, it is accessible, and it can be understood in its entirety without devoting your whole life to it. — Dr. C. H. Ting

Two towers

I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard,
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
— Bob Dylan, A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
