“FreeDOS 1.0 is a major milestone that has finally been released. By now, we have a stable and viable MS-DOS replacement” Now if we can just find a stable and viable replacement for Michael Jackson, we can all go back to living in the 80′s.

Joseph makes a good case that he’s not “marriage material.” I’ve always said (at least, after my first marriage) that you should only enter into marriage if it describes a relationship you already have, rather than to accomplish any type of change.

I feel very proud to be filed under SQL and HUMOUR. It is not the easiest of combinations! Your kind comments are much appreciated.
I hope you’ll support my ongoing project to write the first IT manual entirely in rhyming couplets. Currently, the plan is to write each chapter in imitation of a particular poet. SQL Server Query Optimisation in the style of Rudyard Kipling is currently in progress. Should this be an Open-Source project?

Thanks for the link back. (:
I’ll probably be less emo in a few days.
Phil: that’s great! Yes, if you’ll open source, I’ll contribute. I’m pretty good with iambic pentameter:
With steady meter I can nimbly cope
I’ll write the section imitating Pope
Joseph: emo is good. It makes you a better writer.
Perhaps sometimes, but I’d rather be quasi-Vulcan. If I let my emotions get the best of me…*shudders*…I have thoughts about doing things that would make “normal” people pale with fear. ):
I think that describes a lot of us geeks — that’s why we end up talking to software instead of people sometimes. But blogging is talking to people, via software. People connect much more effectively where emotions are involved, even though they sometimes get in the way. Emotions are the electricity of human interaction. Sure you can shock or be shocked, but without them you only have a dead circuit.
Catch me on AIM tonight, I don’t think most geeks are as dark as some of my thoughts go. Maybe I’m just exaggerating because I don’t know or understand what the “norm” is, but I scare myself witless quite often with the thoughts of acts that I have. ):
FWIW, I sometimes scare myself as well with my thoughts, only to later wonder how on earth I could have contemplated such things. Part of the nature of the beast — the human beast, that is.
It helps to know that at least to some degree, you understand.
