"Will to Live"

I feel miserable
Arrays make me ill
I feel miserable
Castings tear at my foundations
I feel miserable
Types are dragging me down to the depths of misery
I want to die

Is it because of Java that I feel this way?
With the blue rays of misery pounding on my brain?
Or am I lost in tale of Seamus Heaney, adrift far from home
I don't think so, I don't think so.

Amber Broke My Will to Live
Amber Broke My Will to Live
Amber Broke My Will to Live
I was getting better but then
Amber Broke My Will to Live

I feel miserable
Threads rot the flesh from my bones
I feel miserable
GUIs defeat my purpose
I feel miserable
Loops are doing their best to impale my soul
I want to die

Is it because of Java that I feel this way?
With the blue rays of misery pounding on my brain?
Am I lost in tale of Seamus Heaney, adrift far from home
I don't think so, I don't think so.

Amber Broke My Will to Live
Amber Broke My Will to Live
Oh God, Amber Broke My Will to Live
I was getting better but then
Amber Broke My Will to Live

Sure, you can throw hand grenades at Unix, but when the smoke clears, all the little parts will still be twitching. In an hour or two, Unix will reassemble itself, and start shuffling towards you again.

The EffNews Project: Building an RSS Newsreader

If this is up to /F's usual standard, this should be very educational.

I look forward to part two - but don't hurry it, Fredrik. When it's ready.

Swish Cottage likes xXx. I think that I'll have to see it. ;-)

Ow! My brain hurts!

Via b3ta.

Tellie-Targets - therapy for those whose children make them watch kid's TV.

Via FARK.

I'm an intelligent viewer. Get me out of here!

David Aaronovitch blasts the latest dreadful UK reality TV programme. It is like laughing at someone with Tourette's. Ouch!

From cancer to Aids: the RNAi revolution is gathering pace

RNAi looks very exciting. Whole new areas of genetic medicine could be opening up.

The Python UK conference 2003 looks like it's going to be good. I'll try and save up and attend both days next year.

Bravo Andy for all his hard work so far. The word committee strikes fear into my heart. But then, no one likes them, they are sometimes a necessary evil, and Andy can't do it all on his own, so I have put myself forward to help.

There is no way that I could do a talk, though. Not only do I not really have much that I could talk about apropos Python, but also I am seriously phobic about public speaking.

It will be exciting to meet Guido, I must say!

There I was, typing away, when suddenly, the power went out.

This was at 4 p.m. BST yesterday.

Apparently, someone cut through a power line with a digger down by Tower Hill. I hope no one was hurt. A big chunk of the city lost power, and they estimated that it wouldn't come back until between seven and eight.

So I went down the pub. ;-)

Update: I gather that the power wasn't back until after ten. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one whose estimates are out by 50%!
