Is any part of what you said based on fact, or is all just an illusion?

It's just a form of escapism for me.

Reminds of a letter I wrote to a girl I didn't want to see any more. I had to pick up a Penn and Teller to disappear.

I would agree with that, except I've been in this industry for 20 years and know better than to believe that.
And while it's not everyone (because I'm not like that), it's a rare thing.

Hmmmmmm. Ahhh! A potential customer!
I was thinking of creating a line of gums, breath-sprays, and lotions which smell like, well . . .
. . . like . . . like . . . like you got lucky.
Originally, the target market was adolescents - but maybe an Ad here, or better still, StackOverflow, could boost profits.

Oh oh, can we make sure the breath mints will transform your love life in 30 seconds or less? Can we? Can we? Huh? Huh?

It wasn't the aroma of mint that they were going emit.
(Just making sure you understood that)

"Order from Chaos" by Max Cooper and Maxime Causeret: [^].Quote: A collaboration between the UK-based electronic musician Max Cooper and the French motion graphics artist Maxime Causeret, Order from Chaos features an experimental soundtrack inspired by the concept of emergence accompanied by mesmerising representations of emergent systems, including the cooperation of simple cells, swarm behaviour and Alan Turing’s proposed mathematical theory of embryology. In the 1960's we could see these with our eyes closed
cheeers, Bill

I must be a lot younger than you. In the '60s, the strongest drug that I used was chocolate.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It can kill people as well.

I think that's dogs.

Do any of you use a MAC to program?

Devs never use any type of computer. We're all so rad we just set the bits manually using very small magnets.

I prefer the hex keyboard, CPU in load mode, no software involved.

My first job, we had a mini that could be programed from the flip switches on the front. There were some jobs that it was just easier to do with that then fire up terminals et al.

The original model indeed also had switches. The hex keyboard was an improvement. Internally, both connected in the same way and both could be used in 'load mode' or accessed as input ports when running the program.
Edit: Let me Leslie my picture from last week.[^]
