    Java is dying. Python is good so is C#. I love attributes, LINQ, Master Pages, etc.
      I'm not an MS fan, but C# is just so nice.

    For the record I'm writing this on my debian sid laptop using Iceweasel.

    Programming is fun. Did you know that rabbits aren't rodents? Storm clouds are the ones they call cumulonimbus. I forgot to bring lunch today so I ate my hat. In "Transformers: Masterforce" they showed news clippings in which the Destrons were referred to as "Decepticons", that seemed like a nice nod to the Transformers we knew in America... I'm going to write an Emacs clone that uses Brainfuck for its scripting.
