- Which language? about 3 months ago
Found this on a forum. In response to the question “Which programming language should I learn first?” - one user responds:
Depends.
To program in an expressive and powerful language: Python
To get a website up quickly: PHP
To mingle with programmers who call themselves “rockstars”: Ruby.
To really learn to program: C.
To achieve enlightenment: Scheme.
To feel depressed: SQL
To drop a chromosome: Microsoft Visual Basic
To get a guaranteed, mediocre, but well paying job writing financial applications in a cubicle under fluorescent lights: Java.
To do the same thing with certifications and letters after your name: C#
To achieve a magical sense of childlike wonder that you have a hard time differentiating from megalomania: Objective C

…and then we’ll sit at opposing ends of a fourteen-foot (mahogany?) table in some conference room that doesn’t exist and we’ll discuss the game plan, the strategy, the slogan/motto/brainwash and they’ll periodically bring us coffee and bagels and catered lunches.
We’ll scratch empty poetry on yellow legal pads, pretending to pay attention. ‘MEETING ADJOURNED’ I’ll scream every fourth hour and you’ll nod and frown and nod and point to stupid pie-charts and graphs that illustrate the impact of written words having absolutely nothing to do with everything on how I relate to the world.
De-analyze/don’t read too deep. The meaning has been transposed to more important elements.
- Only backwards about 3 months ago
You can’t write that down, she tells me. Or everybody will know. But I do it anyway; Write it down in big fat Sharpie (R? TM?) Permanent Marker on the vestibule (? Maybe just a hall?) wall. And I sign it in only slightly smaller characters, with that disctinctive half-cursive SCO combination I hate but have resigned myself to accepting as my signature.
For good measure, I add my phone number. Only backwards.

OK. - But what religion are you *really*? about 2 years ago
This is good clean fun — a quiz that asks you 20 questions and tells you what religions you most closely allign with.
be warned: Belief-O-Matic™ assumes no legal liability for the ultimate fate of your soul.
here are my top 10:
1. Theravada Buddhism (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (97%) 3. Mahayana Buddhism (95%) 4. Liberal Quakers (88%) 5. Neo-Pagan (84%) 6. New Age (79%) 7. Secular Humanism (73%) 8. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (72%) 9. Taoism (67%) 10. Jainism (65%)This was interesting. I think of myself as agnostic and sometimes atheist, but according to this, if I were a religion, I’d be 100% Unitarian Universalist. So basically same diff.
How intriguing. I’ve always thought I was simply ‘agnostic/atheist’ but it turns out I’m actually a secular humanist. Very much a secular humanist.
- Why do you think it is the governments job to keep you safe from... about 2 years ago
Why do you think it is the governments job to keep you safe from terrorists and not the governments job to keep you safe from illness? I just don’t get this.
In my opinion, terrorists are typically the enemy of a state. Illnesses rarely target victims based on culture, geography, et cetera.

—The whole damn thing spirals out of control. Slippery slope, whirlpool, the works; like a giant sucking machine slurping the worst of it all—whooosh—right down it's gullet.

She told me once, You've got to stop the daydreaming. You've got to take a deep breath, open your eyes and get a grip on reality. Because it's screaming past you so fast you're spinning in circles, facing a completely different direction than the one you started in. And so you're not making any progress. No progress whatsoever.
But it doesn't really matter because I've got no GOAL, thus no PATH to it. I'm kind of just letting these things happen. Trusting in SOMETHING to happen—

I don't WANT control. I HAD control once, but GOSH there are too many decisions to make. Even the little, seemingly unimportant choices have a direct impact (Wassat called? Butterfly effect?).

- the way things are about 3 years ago
You are at home, standing in front of your kitchen stove, trying to remember where you put your keys (they're on the console table by the front door, where you've always intended to keep them but never remember to). You're really in a terrific hurry, but a totally unmotivated one. Like having to go to work on a weekend. Or maybe shopping for something stupid but necessary, like a new razor or something. And you've only got a few minutes to spare. And then you finally remember where your keys are and so you go do whatever it is you needed to do and it's just like that. Absolutely, totally, insanely uneventful.
Anyways, that's pretty much how things are with me. How 'bout you?

Here's how i am RIGHT THIS MINUTE:
So effin' tired of myspace. So effin' tired of the whole internet. Also, feeling rather unmotivated and bored. I think I need to learn something new.
For those not in the know (it's been quite a while since I've spoken to some of you), me and the android had a small accident that eventually led to the birth of our (now nine months old) son (Aiden James). He's a goddamn rockstar. We love the bejesus out of him.
Anyways. Hello again.
