rhyming, food, carnivorous
That rhyming is factual: on a holiday in Tasmania, I found lots of food shops with wallaby pastry tart, and I couldn't stomach it, though scallop tarts I was OK with.
rhyming, food, carnivorous
I'd had goat, I'd had rabbit and duck, I'd had quails,
I'd had clams, I'd had squid, I'd had fungus and snails.
Oh, so many odd foods I was willing to try,
But I couldn't do wallaby! No, not I!
I thought I'd try it all—from a cook whom I trust—
But wallaby chunks, in a rich flaky crust?
I'm a fairly omnivorous kind of a guy,
But I couldn't do wallaby! No, not I!
Work, dork stuff
Program status: purring away happily in box
Programming guy status: TGIF
Work, dork stuff, profanity
Program: I don’t wanna go in a box!
I: But it’s a good box. Comfy, and tidy. C’mon, hop in!
Program: waaaaaahahaha
I: *grits tooth, manfully puts program in box*
Program: imma fuck you up
Work, dork stuff
Old saying: managing programming folks is similar to corralling cats. But also programs display this quality.
Work, dork stuff
My work this fortnight: putting an old program for linguists to work with corpora into a box - a dorky abstraction for "now this computational apparatus acts as if it's actually that kind of computational apparatus, or in a cloud, or what-you-will"
Good for upgrading without a lot of risk, and that sort of thing.
Anyway I am liking it! Probably not a good book for my angry young man days, though it brings thoughts of old passions back to mind. Kind of glad that I’m old now.
