Quote of the Day

From a 2005 online discussion thread on programming languages C .vs. C++....

"C++ makes it harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when
you do, you'll blow off the entire leg."

I love C++, but ya gotta use it's abilities sparingly and with self-control when in an embedded-systems target...cause there is some truth to the above statement!

The Bliss of an Afternoon Tea

Twinings English Afternoon Tea. A truly wonderful blend of robust black-tea aroma and smoke.
I take a sip and a long slow exhale as it runs down the back of my throat. There's something very primal about the warm, smokey flavor, filling the every nook and cranny of my head. As if it somehow connects with primative memories in the deepest most recesses of my mind. Images of being in the warm cave, smoke from the protective firepit fills the air. I'm safe from the elements, I'm safe from the predators.
