Props to John Fraser for coming up with the catchy line I've
appropriated for my .sig. It helped Lisp get a tiny bit of play in
some of the post-JavaOne commentary. Okay, so it's pretty small
potatoes. But adopting a Tiltonesque optimism, I figure every little
bit helps.

Excellent. This could be bigger than Bruce Lee's endorsement.

As a matter of historical record, I'd like to point out that a certain
"actor", who once played Bruce Lee in an "Off-Off-Fuggedaboutit-Broadway"
production, has a prior claim on a more specific version of that .sig, from
way back in 2001:

It was a one-off, prompted by a comment by David Rush, which I probably
would have forgotten all about, if David's sigmonster hadn't slurped it up
and put it to work...

OK, this is scary.

PS. Do you really think that is Scheme you are coding? :)

For some reason, Mozilla's news reader wouldn't work properly with my
ISP's news server. I don't really mind though. GNUS is so much
better.

I can tell I'm coding in Scheme because when I do, the entire world around
me appears as a matrix of glowing green lambdas flowing from top to
bottom...

P.S. Anyone who hacks up a screensaver based on the above description has to
send me a copy!

Try to cut down on the amount of meths in the milk, Anton. We'd
hate to lose such a talented coder to alcohol poisoning, I'm sure.

Flowing from top to bottom!? What type of program is that?

Well, thanks to the wonders of google, try this:

"Be advised that learning Eiffel is like taking the red pill, and ignoring
it is like taking the blue pill."

I guess it depends on your pharmacist!

I've seen the Eiffel pill - it's more of a maroon color, and taking it
induces a tendency to see everything in terms of subclass relationships...
