Words of wisdom on Ctrl-Alt-Delete
Obviously rebooting is much on our minds this week, so the latest Beatles lyric entry, from Andy Cole, comes at an apposite time in this competition, which at this rate could last well into next year.
‘Let me shut you down/Cause I’m going to/Ctrl-Alt-Delete/You’ve got me beat/I’m completely fed up with this/I’m going to Linux forever’. Short, sweet, and you can easily sing along to it.
Meanwhile, Hugh Holt breaks our eight-line rule, but we’re feeling generous this week. ‘When I find my code in tons of trouble/Friends and colleagues come to me/Speaking words of wisdom/Write in C/As the deadline fast approaches/And bugs are all that I can see/Somewhere, someone whispers/Write in C/Write in C (times four)/Logo’s dead and buried/Write in C’. And we’ll allow him one more verse: ‘I used to write a lot of Fortran/For science it worked flawlessly/Try using it for graphics!/Write in C’.
See, we’re full of good advice this week.
