What you get when my brain crashes…

Programming

“Programming is the fine art of making a machine that has absolutely no intelligence act as though it does.”

Remember, Remember

I hope I’m not the only one who quotes this one today.

“Remember, remember, the fifth of November. The gunpowder, treason, and plot. I can think of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.”

Happy 5^th of November, everyone.

p.s. And while we’re talking of remembering – don’t forget that November 17^th is International Keith Day!

Zombie-week

Current mood: Calm

Currently listening to: the wind

I’m re-writing this in a terse, shortened version because I lost my previous post due to internet problems. Argh.

On Sunday I went outside and found that I had a flat tire. It was freezing out and the wind was really cold, but I put the mini-spare on and drove down to John Fitch Highway to get it fixed. Turned out, there was no hole, no slash, no leak at all. It must’ve gotten cold and broken the seal with the rim or something, because it’s been fine since. Go figure.

Saw an interesting bumper sticker today. It said: “Have you seen my constitutional rights lately?”

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary

safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

– Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), Letter to Josiah Quincy, Sept. 11, 1773.

Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not

have, nor do they deserve, either one.

– President Thomas Jefferson. 1743-1826

Just some food for thought.
