I didn't get any billable hours last month and I don't have any indication that I'll get any this month. (In fact, I've barely heard from my clients at all for several weeks.)

At this rate, I'm going to run out of money by the end of the month, and this in a time when I also need to focus on moving by the end of the year and finding more work in general.

If you have a few dollars you could toss my way, I'd appreciate it.

LISP has jokingly been described as “the most intelligent way to misuse a computer”. I think that description a great compliment because it transmits the full flavour of liberation: it has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts.

Here is a tip to prank your C programmer friends! Give them a book but take off its back cover! After finishing the pages they will continue by trying to pronounce the secret, true names of everything else in their sight!

An ancient order of augurs has been ruling the world through by harnessing the eldritch forces of the butterfly effect. Using powerful technology harnessed from a crashed alien spaceship, the order has, for centuries, been launching coordinated assassinations around the world of sparrows in flight, halting the beating of their wings, and thereby shaping the course of global events.

"[...]new research into the causation of the disease undercovering it's a pathological illness."

"Forcing someone to do exercise when their muscle cells are not producing enough ions to work properly is nothing short of cruelty, and these kind of treatment programs must end so that proper treatments can be found."
