Note: If you see me on and I do not respond (either in the CB or the private message system), it is almost certainly not that I am ignoring you. I currently use the FrameChat2 CB client and often leave it running, which makes me appear to be at console, even when I am not. My apologies for any confusion or ill feelings that may have resulted previously. |

Sections
After having to look up several links to find where I put them to respond to a posting, I decided to take the plunge and add a number of them here. The content is that of their owners, and I have no control other than to remove them if necessary from here. If I have mis-attributed something, please let me know so I can correct it. I hope this may prove useful to someone, as this site has proven for me. (All off-site links below are targetted to a new window named by my monastary name, so clicking the first may open a new window, but the second and following will open within that same window.)

Miscellaney:
Best recently-overheard self-given title by a programmer: "Master of dread, ambassador of darkness, banisher of confusion, and herder of cats..."
"Compulsory" listing of areas of interest: physical sciences, psychology, space, computer science, photography, sci-fi, computer systems administration, (and a few others)
Interesting quote:
Thing that got me was not her list of things she hated, since she was obviously crazy as a Cyborg, but fact that always somebody agreed with her prohibitions. Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws--always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: "Please pass this so that I won't be able to do something I know I should stop." Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them "for their own good"--not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it.Manuel Garcia O'Kelly, in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (by Robert A. Heinlein)
Interesting quote:
Morality is your agreement with yourself to abide by your own rules.Jubal Harshaw in Stranger in a Strange Land(also by Robert A. Heinlein)

The obligatory buttons, for those who like to push them
(for amusement porpoises only-the output will be sent as if you submitted it):
Version | Button | Output in CB |
Movie version (final words from Soylent Green) |
/me yells as they carry 'em out, "You've got to tell them... Soylent Green is people... We've got to stop them... somehow..." | |
Philosophical version (What am i?) |
/me is merely a figment of the imaginations of the voices in their head | |
Replacement version (I was replaced...?) |
/me didn't go away, and was replaced by a small code snippet (that was smarter, and better-looking, too)...can anyone help? |
