They don’t complain about their disadvantages. They just get to it.






I read your blog. It’s just great how you have all those opinions and ideas. The people who gave them to you must be so proud.

Why would you want to do this? You can put an ad and link for your site there. You can put a “Sedition·sucks” there. It’s above the fold on the top page and it’s all yours until the next visitor comes along.
Why would we want to do this? 1) Free speech is fun. 2) Cross-pollination is fun. 3) A Web 2.0 résumé point is nice when poking the job market with a sharp stick.
I have been checking back around Christmas for like a decade.
[Sed · :P It’s a Perl joke. They said the new major version release would be Christmas. When Christmas came and went, they said, We never said which Christmas.]
[I have some interesting ideas and have done a fair amount of work on and off toward them, but… here we are in 2021 and my desire to reach out to the world on the wane.]

One day a shepherd discovered a fat Pig in the meadow where his Sheep were pastured. He very quickly captured the porker, which squealed at the top of its voice the moment the Shepherd laid his hands on it. You would have thought, to hear the loud squealing, that the Pig was being cruelly hurt. But in spite of its squeals and struggles to escape, the Shepherd tucked his prize under his arm and started off to the butcher’s in the market place.
The Sheep in the pasture were much astonished and amused at the Pig’s behavior, and followed the Shepherd and his charge to the pasture gate.
“What makes you squeal like that?” asked one of the Sheep. “The Shepherd often catches and carries off one of us. But we should feel very much ashamed to make such a terrible fuss about it like you do.”
“That is all very well,” replied the Pig, with a squeal and a frantic kick. “When he catches you he is only after your wool. But he wants my bacon! gree-ee-ee!”
Take that, subspace.
