Pete, I hope you will be consoled in this dark moment in your pilgrimage through the vale of shadows by these words of Mircea Eliade:
"As long as you have not grasped that you have to die to grow, you are a troubled guest on the dark earth." in Eliade's "Little Book of Romanian Wisdom:" most probably a translation of a quote taken from Goethe's poem, "The Holy Longing."

Damn and blast, I was inches away from getting a windows phone after researching the apps that I want. I have located a nav system, a good wine library and a reader app which will integrate with Calibre.
A friend was showing off his Sonos system and I was much impressed, I assumed Sonos was there, ah well Ass of You and Me, well me anyway.

So here I am in Madagascar, sitting in a restaurant on the Straight of Mozambique, and what do I hear? Some guy sitting near me starts talking about programming in C#. HELP!!! I fear that if I vacationed on the moon, I couldn't get away from work.

Do you think you are the first who has to land manually on the moon just because of some error messages?

Some would say it's your karma.

And I know it's my own damn fault." 'Margaritaville' cheers, Bill

Perhaps it was really "see sharp!" One of the natives demonstrating a spear to a tourist perhaps?

Don't complain, he could have been talking about programming in VB

Walking through Gaul Fort in Sri Lanka and hearing some fanboi proselytising to another pillock, the temptation to strangle the silly bugger was extreme.

Expecting October 13, 2014 would be very nice to me. I'm taking a leave on my work. It's my birthday! You're all invited!
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

I've so much stock for the 10M+ members of CP. But I know, not all of you could come, so I ate some.

I bought a box of chocolates and had every intention on coming but somethings come up and I won't be able to attend.
I ate the chocolate.
But seriously happy birthday, enjoy your day and hope you have many more.

Just when I'm thinking the world is hopelessly fracked, and the immortal words of Yeats in "The Second Coming" will not stop echoing in my neocortex:
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. Something ... someone ... comes along, like a young woman shot in the head by fanatics for her struggle to improve education for other young women, who survives, and goes on to become an international figure.
And, for a moment, I remember that the world is always new every moment, and there is ... hope. If Godel, or Cantor, were alive I'd ask them: "do you think the Aleph of the infinity of hope is greater than the Aleph of the infinity of hopelessness ?"
That I forget that moment of clarity so easily, and scuttle back into the comfort of the darkness of small-self, almost a kind of instinctual retreat: that seems to be a problem that has lasted too many years, and the eternity of the moment of clarity is always so brief.
cheers, Bill

I think it is not right place to congratulation of them because both are not visiting here.
|
|

It is not necessarily about congratulating them personally, but perhaps raising awareness of the individuals and their personal contribution to making things better. I think it is blatantly obvious they aren't visiting here, but does go someway as to demonstrate your lack of cultural and social naivity.
Why does the news in the UK tell us about the super typhon hitting Japan.....it isn't going to directly effect the country in a way that will change 99.99% of peoples behaviours.
Why say Rest In Peace to a dead person, they aren't going to hear you and turn round and say "why thanks, I may just do that."
Why do trolls do what they do...
Why....why....why.....
just sayin'
