Hi all, Not much happening for about 22 hours now, possibly (great word) because of TopicA non-forward of email, or maybe just a statistical clump of inaction, or maybe some weird effect of Hurricane Katrina. So here's some pseudo-philosophical filler deriving from the delicate mental state that follows having the thought: "programming is life"... --in god1.e global constant NOTHING = 0 --in god2.e global constant NOTHING = -1 --Believer.ex include god.e include god2.e --Note god2.e is here auto-modified for compatibility, unless author2>author1 --bunch of routines, declares, defines here while not equal(Universe,NOTHING) do self=BeBorn(parents)--wow! self-state=HaveUniqueSubsetExperiences(allPossibleExperiences,self)--duck! self-mind=FormUniqueMentalStates(allPossibleMentalStates, self)--you dog! self=RandomLethalEvent(unfairnessOfItAll,self)--bummer self=PrepareForRebirth(NebulousVaguelyMoralEvents,self)--good luck on this one universe=ArrowOfTimeUpdate(universe)--time separates breakfast and dinner end while BOOM() --Quark

Universe destroyed. > Thanks ck, But notice the handy line: > > --bunch of routines, declares, defines here That covers all sins of omission... However, I did mean to write: include god1.e rather than include god.e Does this mean the generative forces of the universe needed the services of a good debugger before shipping the product? --Quark

Question: does MUME, TinyOS, NesC, etc. mean anything to you? A fellow with the same name as yours has been active on things computerish, MUD-ish and advanced programming-ish at Berkeley for some time now. But whatever you've been doing, it's good to see your name on the forum again. I went through your tutorial once, and could profit from going through it again. --Quark
