Code is poetry…

This is evident from your words, sir.

I reckon most of what I know about UNIX and C is because of you. Thanks a lot !

Gee Mark,
You were always the thinker but I never knew that all this was going on…
So amazing to see this and also the thoughts of JK and Paul and B (that you, Rhett??). Well there’s only 2 years to go now. I hope you”re wrong, as I want my little guy to experience a beautiful world, and he’s only 5. Sending you much love (if you ever read this). Lindaxx

Ten! I threw out ten plastic (PET) bottles today for your information. It’s a bit of a coincidence because I only got back from a camping trip this morning and checked my emails and this website this afternoon, only to be made feel a little guilty for disposing of so many of those bottles all at once (way more than usual). You see; on our camping trip we had to carry a lot of water up hill and those bottles are so convenient to fill with water and put in your back pack. But during the camping trip we all had a conversation about how drinking water out of those bottles may cause cancer (especially when they are reused, heated in the sun or in a microwave). So I chucked them out. I don’t want to get cancer. I think there are new plastics coming out that don’t cause cancer (perhaps only impotence). Anyway I’ve gotta go now to watch John Cusack in 2012.

And I’ve just received your telegram on my telephone, which I’m using to reply to you (and you’re on the opposite of the planet from me). Wow, indeed!

One thing I love about going camping with the boys is coming home. WOW! *Running* water in the house. A toilet like so close, you don’t even need to put on your shoes to get to it! A roof that stays up!
Thankfulness is next to Godliness.

Before cinema multiplexes, the cinemas had character, even if they were dingy. The multiplexes are identical and “sanitised”.
On tv, the ratings were introduced and I remember A and AO.
Bins… before the lids with 2 clips… those were plastic bins. As a kid, we had metal bins with a loose lid on top. The garbos must have had terrible back problems.
Milk bottles I remember. And some places, like the Sunshine Coast, had milk in 1-litre plastic bags.

And, yes, I remember TAA vividly!

Time travel is an interesting concept. Even if it is possible I don’t know if I’d do it.
