Too Freud to Rock'n'Roll, Too Jung to Care
A living part of me is encoded herein to be embedded in the collective unconscious as the archetype which builds tunnels between our dreams.

What Happened To Abstraction Of Lower-Level Function?
I keep running into "system-dependent" operations in programming languages.
I can understand if some "high-level assemblers" want to maintain a direct hardware approach to coding, but those that have carried the misnomer "third-generation language" should be based on standards which make common native operations accessible to the "higher level" programming languages.
It seems reasonable to me that what is often called a "hardware abstraction layer" have common functions within it for a more complete control of what might otherwise be considered a "low-level operation." It makes no sense to have different software platforms behaving differently, using different functions to control functions common to all platforms. We still plan to have keyboards, pointer devices, displays, etc., don't we?
If we are going to let a hardware abstraction layer intervene between the program and the disk-drive device, where did the notion go that would have us derive a data-storage device from a generic device that could have a form that would be a disk? What of the idea that it should make no difference to the higher-level language program code whether the data sink were a disk, memory or some network device? Why should this be true of a disk, but not of a keyboard, display or pointer?
Are we just giving up on principles of modelling so that we can continue to bicker about the superiority of one operating system or another? So the flame wars based on behavior we insist on continuing can continue, blaming one chip manufacturer or another for what we have imposed at higher levels of design?
Hey, I'm just askin' here, yanno?

I asserted that Harding invented normalcy while attending a college Russian class and was justifiably corrected. It was what I had heard from my father, but appears Harding only (re)popularized these words. From: http://ping.fm/z7p8N

????? ??????? ????
Я вас любил,
Любовь ещё, быть может,
В дуще моей угасла не совсем.
А пуст она вас больше не тревожет;
Я не хочу печалить вас ничем.Я вас любил безмолвно, безнадежно,
То робостью, то ревностью томим;
Я вас любил так искренно, так нежно,
Как дай вам Бог любимой быть другим.Мне нравится слова "А" вместо "Но" в четвёртой линии - передавать смысл "напротив"
скорее чем "и," в то время как я еще не понимаю почему Пушкин выбрал слово "но." Может кто-либо мне объяснять мне, почему он предпочитал использовать «но?»

From Mike Hanes' Blog via Seesmic, etc.
This post hit me in pieces, first as a one-liner in Seesmic from my friends and then I followed the chain of attribution back to the source, gathering miettes of meaning before aggregating the whole on a blog. Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your mind. Put your whole soul to it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic,
be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
