I’ve been buying a lot of DVDs. Yesterday I saw [bought] “Good Morning, Vietnaaaam!”. It was good. If they had flashlights a couple hundred years ago, the star-spangled banner would be reworded a bit: “..the bombs bursting in air made it overly redundant that the flag was still there..”
Programming tasks are strange. Currently I’m working on a task that is akin to putting various shaped blocks through various shaped holes. There’s the circle, the block, a triangle, etc. Sometimes the blocks are dull and weary. Sometimes the blocks are shiny and good. Sometimes the blocks are three times the size of the thing that holds all the slots, and there is no possible path of resolving this problem. And then someone comes by with a really large hammer and slams the Gigantor-block through the triangular-shaped slot. Problem solved.
